Giuseppe Mascarello GIUSEPPE MASCARELLO Cà d’Morissio Barolo Riserva 2014

Description

Il Barolo Riserva Cà d’Morissio 2014 rappresenta il culmine di oltre 130 anni di grandi vini della Giuseppe Mascarello. Nell’annata 1993 Mauro credeva che le uve prodotte dai vigneti Michét, giunti al terzo anno di produzione, fossero pronte per produrre la prima annata di un nuovo Barolo Riserva dedicato a suo nonno Maurizio.

The entire production of the vines went into a single 27 hectoliter Slavonian oak barrel. After three years, Mauro took off three-quarters of the wine to go into the 1993 Monprivato. He transferred the remaining six hectoliters to a somewhat smaller barrel for further refinement, until he decided to bottle it in 1999 as Barolo Riserva Cà d’Morissio 1993. The Barolo Riserva Cà d’Morissio has continued to grow to become one of the great wines of the Langhe. On average, around 4,000 bottles or less are produced, as the wine is a selection of only the best fruit from the Michét vines.

The Monprivato vineyard of the Giuseppe Mascarello company is located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto in the heart of the Barolo wine-growing area. It is a historic vineyard, as confirmed by the old cadastral archives dating back to 1666. The vineyard is located at 280 m above sea level on calcareous soil, composed of grey-blue marl of marine formation. Traditional vinification with cap in suspension for 20/25 days. Aging in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels for about 38 months.
