F.lli Moscone Barbaresco

Barbaresco from the family's grapes in Neive, aged a long period in large oak and several months in bottle before release.

Tasting notes

Colour: ruby red with garnet reflections. Nose: intense red fruit jam, wild berries and blackcurrant, floral notes of geranium and violet, then intense spice of pepper, nutmeg and liquorice. Palate: elegant and structured, with intense, velvety tannins at the close. Very persistent and satisfying.

Pairs well with

Perfect with fatty, savoury dishes, Piedmontese cheeses and cured meats. Suited to braised meat, boiled meats and game, and to very rich first courses, especially when young.
