About this wine
The Langhe DOC gives access to Nebbiolo from Barbaresco's own vineyards — the same grape and the same soils as the full crus, without the structural intensity that demands patience or ceremony. For Musso, a Barbaresco estate founded in 1929 with vineyards adjacent to Gaja's, the Langhe Nebbiolo is made with the same careful hand as everything else in the cellar. South-east facing plots at 230 to 260 metres on the limestone-clay soils that give Barbaresco its character; hand-harvested in small baskets; fermented in stainless steel; 12 to 13 days on skins; 7 to 8 months in large Slavic oak. The result is a wine of genuine Nebbiolo typicity — raspberry, dried rose, fine tannins, vivid acidity — that is approachable now and built to reward the table.
Tasting notes
Bright garnet with violet hints. The nose is delicate and floral — raspberry and cherry at the fore, with dried rose petals, a touch of green pepper and cinnamon, and a fresh herbal lift. On the palate, elegant and well-defined with fine silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a dry, focused finish that lingers cleanly. Classic Nebbiolo character in an approachable register. Pays back the attention you give it.

Editor's note
Musso's Barbaresco crus are benchmarks for the appellation — Pora beat Gaja in 2014. The Langhe Nebbiolo is where you start. Same south-east facing vineyards on limestone-clay soils in Barbaresco, fermentation in stainless steel, 12 to 13 days on skins, 7 to 8 months in large Slavic oak. Raspberry, dried rose, fine tannins, vivid acidity. The 2024 is fresh and bright — a Nebbiolo for the table, not the cellar.
