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.

Nebbiolo grapes from this high elevation, cooler micro-climate tend to ripenvery late, so the harvest takes place when the local producers have finished with all the other grape varieties of the area..
Highly tannic, the wines from this area are renowned for their great cellaring potential (Nebbiolo is used to make Barolo, Barbaresco and many other great Piedmont wines).
Medium-bodied wine, light coloured, with interesting brick/orange hues, extremely elegant.

Great with fresh truffles, stews, game and hard cheese. Might be decanted, drink not too warm within 5 years.
