Musso Pora Barbaresco Riserva 2013
From the historic Musso winery in Barbaresco, Piedmont, the Pora Barbaresco Riserva 2013 is a distinguished red from the prestigious Pora cru. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from 2.5 hectares of 65-year-old vines on limestone-clay soils at 240–280 meters, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in bottle, it offers a garnet hue and profound complexity.
Winemaking Process
Musso’s traditional craftsmanship elevates this Riserva. The 2013 vintage, from a balanced year, undergoes fermentation in stainless steel with 25 days of maceration and regular pump-overs. Aged 18 months in 50hl Slavonian oak barrels, 18 months in 20hl barrels, and 12 months in bottle, it develops refined tannins and tertiary aromas, creating a harmonious Barbaresco with exceptional aging potential.
Tasting Notes
A complex, mature red with rich red fruit and earthy elegance, showcasing Barbaresco’s finesse.
The nose reveals dried cherry, truffle, and rose petal, with hints of leather, anise, and graphite. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and refined, with vibrant acidity, velvety tannins, and flavors of raspberry, licorice, and a long, savory-mineral finish.
