1995 Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Riserva Moccagatta 750ml

Muncagota / Moccagatta - First produced as single vineyard (‘Moccagatta’) in 1967

This single vineyard looks South/East, facing the cooler morning sunshine instead of the warmer afternoon sun. Because of that, the Muncagota vineyard shows beautiful floral characteristics and often a specific mint character on the nose. Calcareous soil and a low level of sand gives to the wines of Muncagota extremely focused fruit and firm, stylish tannin. Muncagota is a perfect example of the elegant and intense qualities that make Barbaresco one of the most interesting and unique wines of the world. Muncagota is the piedmontese dialect version of the word Moccagatta, same vineyard, different spelling.
