Note di degustazione
The 1974 Barolo Monprivato is one of the smaller-scaled wines in this tasting. Sweet herbs, tobacco, licorice and flowers emerge from this mid-weight, fully resolved Barolo. Although mature, the wine retains a surprising level of freshness, a hallmark of the poor soils of the Monprivato vineyard. Ideally, the 1974 is best enjoyed over the near-term, although well-stored bottles might keep for a few more years.

Good deep red. Impressively youthful aromas of red fruits, orange peel and exotic floral scents. Almost miraculously young and vibrant, with superb retention of fruit and penetrating acidity. Not especially dense or sweet but sharply focused and fine, without the hardness that characterizes so many Barolos from this vintage. A classic, traditionally made Barolo with backbone of steel. If the '82 was marginally disappointing in the context of its year, this '74 was the positive surprise of the entire series.
