2015 Moccagatta, Barbaresco, Balin 1x750ml

Vinous 93

The 2015 Barbaresco Bric Balin has more than enough structure and breadth to handle the natural richness of the year. Expansive and resonant on the palate, the 2015 has a lot to recommend it. Blood orange, mint, red-toned fruit and floral notes find a striking counterpoint in the wine’s vibrancy and underlying structure. [Antonio Galloni, 19/10/2018]

"Bric Balin is a vineyard farmed by Moccagatta, but the name is trademarked to this estate and not part of the official appellation geographic mapping. The 2015 Barbaresco Bric Balin is characterized by thin and compact fruit at its core. It shows berry nuances of dried cherry and red currant backed by oak spice and toast. Despite the heat of the vintage, this interpretation offers extra balance and elegance. Some 12,000 bottles were made." [Monica Larner, 31/08/2018]
