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 notesMusso is one of the best and most underrated producers not just of Barbaresco but of Italy

The Rio Sordo Cru sits between 250 and 300 metres above sea level and is predominantly a mix of limestone and clay-rich soil, that in combination brings a particular mineral freshness to the wine - but also a robustness that allows it to age gracefully.

Musso's Rio Sordo is textbook Barbaresco—elegant yet structured, with notes of dark cherry, apricot, and hints of tobacco. There’s a real depth here, with a firm tannic backbone that promises to soften beautifully over time. It’s a wine that speaks to Musso’s philosophy of letting the vineyard take centre stage.

17.5 Pts Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com 'Barbaresco. Youthful mid ruby. Brooding, sweet red-fruit nose. Fresh red fruit on the palate with polished tannins. Very long and juicy and yet not heavy at all.

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.
