A registered single vineyard Barbaresco of ruby red colour with strong garnet/orange hues. The nose is complex and intense.

Producer Information

Cascina Morassino was founded in 1984 by Mauro Bianco the father of Roberto Bianco which seems not to care about the endless discussion between tradition and modernity in Barbaresco and Barolo and his wines are a perfect synthesis of this approach. Soft, fruity, and round as a modern Nebbiolo and tannic, earthy, and balsamic. The company has an area of 3.5 hectares in Barbaresco, sub-area Ovello and 1 ha in the municipality of Neive for a total of 4.5 ha family-run. This allows us to have a careful, constant and personal care of vineyards and winery with the aim of creating a high quality artisan wine. On top of the main hill facing Barbaresco, Ovello is one of the most important crus in the area. The classical blue marl soil gives the austere, earthy, and tannic structure is balanced by a ripe fruit due to the perfect exposure to the sun.
