Musso Barbaresco Pora 2021
The Wine
Ian D'Agata is a former wine reviewer for Antonio Galloni, Vinous and author of some of the most respected books on Italian wine. He notes “Musso is one of the best and most underrated producers not just of Barbaresco but of Italy”
The Pora Cru sits at an altitude between 240 and 280 metres above sea level and is exposed from west to south-west. The soil is predominantly calcareous with frequent intersections of clay. Wines have a particular freshness and purity of fruit with a notable spice element.
17.5++Pts Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com 'Barbaresco. Just mid ruby. Pure and concentrated red-fruit nose. Supple and fresh raspberry fruit on the palate with long, chewy tannins. Long and focused.'

About the Wine Maker 
The Musso winery was founded in 1929 and coincides with one of the most critical moments of the Italian economy and the world, the year of the “Great Depression” Sebastiano Musso, born in 1906, did not lose heart. Even with being left alone at a young age from the untimely death of his father, he found the strength to fight back and establish a small winery in Barbaresco. Valter Musso, a young winemaker, joined the family winery in the mid-eighties, today is a mature man and head of the winery, overseeing the responsibilities in the vineyard and the winery to produce quality wine. Today Musso make wonderful Barbaresco from Rio Sordo and Pora crus and many other beautifully crafted wines.
