LABEL 5 - BAROLO MONPRIVATO

DATA SHEET

Origin: Piedmont/Piemonte; Zone Langhe - (ITALY)

Type of Grapes: Red - Nebbiolo 100%

Producer: Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio

Name of the Wine: Barolo D.o.c..g. "Monprivato"

This is a masterpiece (for me) of label. The wine supports the beauty. This deserves to be examinated in detail:

General Comment: Very beautiful central coat of arms (I could not detect from whom) colourfull but not confusing. The motto has a meaning SOLUM HABET QUI DAT (just who gives, has/obtains) with the last 2 word maybe a little too close. The 2 lions give a good sense of balance. I do like the producer writes the number of the bottle (always stylish) and the numbers of production (23319 Albeise bottles, 691 Magnum, 96 Double Magnum and 5 14 liters). I think also a right mark to write on the bottom that the owners are producers since 1881. Beautiful also the idea to put the name of the Cru in the zone with the preposition "in" not correct in normal Italian but very correct in very elevated and aulic Italian. Top!

Another remarkable mark. So a very balanced label with no defects. (not 100/100 just because the QUI DAT too close)

Vote: 95/100

Originality: this label is remarkable for the size of the coat of arms. The name MASCARELLO is much bigger of the wine (theoretically it shouldn't) and gives the idea that the producer is much more important that the wine. The details of production makes this wine remarkable even in its semplicity.

Vote 88/100

Script: maybe the less impressive of the label. Nothing bad but also nothing particular.
