Moccagatta Barbaresco Bric Balin 2019

Served @ DBFW's "Barolo & Barbaresco" Tasting 

The Moccagatta estate, founded by the Minuto family in 1952, has taken outstanding qualitative leaps since the 1980's. Adoption of barrel fermentation and aging in small French oak; severe pruning and grape thinning; employment of sophisticated cellar equipment and careful fermentation-maceration techniques: all this and more have poised Moccagatta at the forefront of quality winemaking in Barbaresco.

Winemaker Notes: Garnet red. The nose is intense, fine, complex, and fruity. Structured, tannic, elegant, and powerful.

Pair with red meat and game dishes.

The 2019 Barbaresco Bric Balin is distinguished by lots of wild berry fruit and a spicy hint of crushed white pepper that gives lift and immediacy to the bouquet. The tannins are quite firm in this wine and require more time to soften with bottle age. However, Bric Balin delivers overall elegance and length. This is a beautiful wine that is built for the long haul.
