Notes from the Importer: Monprivato has been known as a special vineyard since at least the 1600s, and a quarter century ago Renato Ratti’s epic classification of Barolo vineyards ranked Monprivato among Barolo’s ten greatest vineyards, analagous to a Burgundy grand cru. In the 1980s, Mauro brought the complete site under his family’s ownership, making it one of the few great Barolo vineyards to be entirely owned by a single domaine. Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: Colour : garnet red with orange-coloured highlights. Nose : complex, very fruity, elegant, intense, spicy, with flowery touches. Taste : excellent body with power and stuffing, demanding, masculine, long, full.
