97 points from Antonio Galloni.
“The 1982 vintage is one of the first that turned me on to Barolo so it was great to revisit these two masterpieces. Giuseppe Mascarello's 1982 Barolo Monprivato impressed for its length, structure and fabulous overall balance.”
“Big, flavorful and full-bodied, packed with ripe cherry and blackberry flavors seasoned with anise and a touch of earthiness.”

Like his fellow icons, Mauro is a traditionalist dedicated to long fermentations and aging in old botti grandi. But he has also made important changes, not the least of which was the creation of the first single-vineyard Barolo in 1970 from the mythic Monprivato vineyard. Prior to that year, his family had always made their towering Barolos and Barolo Riservas by blending Monprivato fruit with grapes from other sites.
The multi-vineyard Mascarello Barolos of the 1950s and 1960s were among the great wines of their era. Yet, as remarkable as they were—and remain today if well-cellared—Mauro recognized that Monprivato on its own could produce an even more compelling wine, prodigious in its perfume and abundant in its complexity.
Today, Mauro is beginning to pass over control of the estate to his children, Elena and Giuseppe, just as he took the reins from his father a generation earlier. While part of a younger generation, Elena and Giuseppe have embraced their father’s classical winemaking.
