Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio Monprivato Barolo DOCG 2015 Review

A comfortable settling in of smells reminiscent of leather shops, forest walks, and savory cherry tarts dusted with cinnamon. And that’s just the beginning. As the wine opens, you’ll experience a cornucopia of refined aromas. The palate is powerful and focused. The acidity holds the depth of the wine up as the still-softening tannins melt around the edges. This wine is ready.
