Wine Description:
Musso Pora Barbaresco is a distinguished wine crafted by Musso, a prominent producer located in the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, Italy. Made exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from vines averaging 65 years old, this wine showcases the essence of its terroir. The vineyards boast limestone and clay soils, ideal for Nebbiolo cultivation. Handpicked grapes undergo meticulous fermentation in stainless steel tanks using traditional methods, with a maceration period of around 20 days at controlled temperatures between 28 and 30°C. Following fermentation, the wine ages in large oak barrels for 12 months, followed by an additional 10 to 12 months in smaller barrels. Bottled in the second summer after harvest, the wine further matures for 7 to 8 months before release, expressing the authentic character of Barbaresco with its rich, complex flavors and elegant structure. Indigenous yeast is employed throughout the winemaking process, emphasizing the wine's connection to its unique terroir and heritage. Pros:
- Intense and complex aromas of red fruits, dried flowers, and spices.
Cons:
- May require some aging to fully develop its potential.
