Tasting notes
Mascarello's 2001 Barolo Riserva Ca' d'Morissio was a formidable pairing to the 2007 Giacosa Asili. Much younger and more powerful, the 2001 Ca' d'Morissio was more about potential. An exotic melange of rose petal, plum, sweet cherry and exotic spice notes lingered on the finish in a stunning, breathtaking Barolo of the highest level. Monprivato on steroids. That pretty much sums it up.

The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monprivato Cà d'Morissio is a staggering wine of heroic proportions. It's all there in the glass. Dark cherries, flowers, spices and minerals emerge as this powerful, intense Barolo shows off its inimitable pedigree. The 2001 isn't likely to be one of the biggest Cà d'Morissios, but it is impeccable and totally satisfying in every way.
The 2001 Barolo Riserva Monprivato Ca d’Morissio is a staggering wine of heroic proportions. It’s all there in the glass. Dark cherries, flowers, spices and minerals emerge as this powerful, intense Barolo shows off its inimitable pedigree. The 2001 isn’t likely to be one of the biggest Ca d’Morissios, but it is impeccable and totally satisfying in every way. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2031. Mauro Mascarello’s 2001s showed very well. I have had the privilege of attending more than my fair share of Monprivato verticals, but something tells me future tastings are going to be even more special, as the number of great examples of this wine has never been higher. Imagine tasting the 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 in another 10-15 years’ time! Importers: Doug Polaner, Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel.

Giuseppe Mascarello's 2001 Barolo Riserva Cà d'Morissio was stupendous. It showed all of the hallmarks of the Monprivato vineyard with an extra dimension of textural heft. This was another terrific showing from Mauro Mascarello.
