Red
Barbaresco
By Moccagatta, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
A blend of three parcels, combining grapes from sandier soils with grapes from fresher, more clayey ones. Elegant, fruity and more ready to drink than the estate's single-site Barbaresco.
Tasting notes
Fruity and elegant, easier to drink than the single-site Barbaresco, with a blend of sandier and fresher clay soils.
