G. Mascarello Langhe Nebbiolo Vdp 2015
Very beautiful transparent brick colored wine. The nose was elegant, cool and reveals the characteristics of nebbiolo. Very nice. On the palate the wine behaves exactly according to its nose and how it looks in the glass. An aristocratic liquid that at the same time feels light as a feather, but still has a great depth to it. You can tell it is not as serious as the barolo, but this is in my opinion what langhe nebbiolo is all about. Fantastic wine.
This was my first encounter with G. Mascarello and now I can’t wait to try some Monprivato I bought some time ago (however they still need time as it is 2013’s). It also motivated me to buy some of his langhe nebbiolo from 2016.
The Ca d’Morrissio 2003 is great and can wait … December 2016 :
G. Mascarello Monprivato Riserva Ca d’Morissio 2003 : 18/20
On décèle un énorme jus minéral dans ce 2003, très structuré, encore très jeune, inaltérable.
Longue garde prévisible. J’avais trouvé le 2004 (18,5/19) un peu plus délié/radieux et d’une
jeunesse complexe il y a quelques années (dans le style de Rayas).
