Barbaresco Riserva Pora, Musso 2016

Tasting Notes

Medium-red colour. Captivating aromas and flavours of very pure red cherry, raspberry ice, minerals, peach, and roses, complicated by hints of menthol and tobacco. At once dense and juicy, with a stony undertone and lively acidity that nicely extend the pure flavours on the very long, precise back end. Made with the oldest grapes in Musso’s Pora holdings and planted on the highest part of the slope, this is a majestic Barbaresco that will improve and live for decades to come. Drinking window: 2026-2046

Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Lots of concentrated cherry fruit on the nose with a hint of spice and a generous layer of fruit on the palate, yet it is light on its feet at the same time. Elegant, lively and long and with a fine layer of crunchy tannins. Just a touch of creaminess on the finish, which could indicate that this has seen a bit of new oak.
