About this wine
A Langhe Nebbiolo drawn from the privileged Barbaresco vineyards of Musso — the same family domain whose vineyards run alongside Gaja's, and whose Barbaresco 'Pora' was voted the best of the year in 2014. The estate was founded in 1929 by Valter Musso's family and is run today by father and son, Valter and Emanuele, with admirable modesty for a house at this level. The fruit comes from south-east facing vineyards at 230-260 metres on the 'white' soils of Barbaresco — limestone-dominant with layers of clay — a compact base that lends the wine a serious structure. Hand-picked in small baskets, fermented in stainless steel at 28-30°C with 12-13 days on the skins, then rested seven to eight months in large Slavonian oak, bottled one year after harvest and given a further five to six months in bottle before release.
Tasting notes
Bright garnet with a fine depth and darker hues at the core. The nose is delicate and unhurried: raspberry and cherry lifted by spice — green pepper, a turn of cinnamon. The palate is full and dry with the remarkable finesse Nebbiolo lovers wait for, balanced from start to finish and closing on a long, tasty finale. The noble character of Barbaresco at Langhe price.
Food pairings
Tajarin with butter and sage, Roast veal with mushrooms, Aged Castelmagno, Risotto with porcini
