The Indipendent Consumer’s Bimonthly Guide to Fine Wine
Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio
I have had the privilege to drink – not just taste – Mascarello’s 1989 and 1990 Barolo Monprivato on several occasions this year, but that notwithstanding I was frankly not at all prepared for the sensational showing of these bottles from proprietor Mauro Mascarello’s cellar…

Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio
Proprietor Mauro Mascarello has turned out two very pretty 2005 Barolos, but did not bottle his Villero as he waited until after the rains to pick the fruit and by that time the quality in the vineyard had been compromised. There is also no Cà d’Morissio in 2005, as that juice was blended into the Monprivato…

Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio
Mascarello, too, has no 2002 Barolo, as all was sold off to negociants. The Barolo Villero, is still closed in the nose, but is very fine, light, and harmonious in the mouth with dusty cherry fruit. 2011-2030. The Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno shows more structure and depth, but less finesse…

In an age of standardized wines and winemaking, it’s hard to resist the portfolio of this producer, a true character in every sense of the word, but one who, at least, believes in his vineyards, their individual grape varieties, and the necessity…

Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio
Mauro Mascarello loves the 1999 vintage, but notes that the wines are a bit tough and hard to taste today. They’re more structured than the ’98s, he adds, but also rich and fat. Vintage 2000 was a hot year…

A wine tasting could be so many different things. It could be about quality or not or about the matter of taste. These are for trivialities to reckon the day you meet the wine and the people behind it, giving you the feeling of being present in a unity of senses…
