Moccagatta’s Basarin bottling comes from one of the most elegant crus in Barbaresco, perched on the border of Neive and Treiso. Known for producing graceful, high-toned expressions of Nebbiolo, Basarin thrives in cooler years like 2021, where acidity and aromatic clarity shine. Moccagatta brings a polished, modern-traditional approach—clean winemaking that still lets the site speak.

Expect vibrant sour cherry, raspberry, and blood orange, layered with rose petal, anise, and a subtle mineral thread. The tannins are fine but firm, giving the wine a vertical feel, while the acidity keeps it lifted and focused. This is a beautifully poised Barbaresco—ideal for pairing with truffle risotto, roasted duck, or simply cellaring for 5–10 years to let its inner depth unfold. Classic site, sharp vintage, confident winemaking.

"The 2021 Barbaresco Bric Balin is the most reticent of the 2021 I tasted at Moccagatta for this report. Even so, it offers quite a bit of depth and fine balance, especially with regards to the integration of oak. White pepper, cedar, flowers and mint add an attractive upper register..." —Vinous

More about Moccagatta

Moccagatta's been in the Langhe foothills since the 1800s. Sergio Minuto and his daughter Martina now make three crus of Barbaresco—Bric Balin, Cole, and Basarin—each one racy, bold, capturing its specific vineyard. This is a family that knows one place deeply and refuses to wander.
