Description

The wine-making tradition of Fratelli Moscone traces back to 1877; with brothers Sara and Marco Moscone currently the youngest generation of this family.
Grandpa Angelo Moscone was one of the handful of producers that in the 50s formed the “Terra del Barolo” consortium, insisting on cultivating here Nebbiolo grapes even when nobody wanted to do it anymore, following the dire post-war situation in Italy.
They own 18 hectares of vineyards in the most outstanding areas of Monforte d’Alba, five of which in the renowned Bussia cru.
This bottle embodies perfectly the Barolo conundrum: elegant and multilayered; light yet powerful; delicate yet complex.
It’s a wine for a true connoisseur; definitely more difficult to appreciate than, let’s say, an Amarone.

Great with fresh truffles, stews, game and hard cheese.
Might be decanted, drink not too warm within 30 years.
