Moccagatta Bric Balin Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017

$65

ITALY : Piedmont : Barbaresco  Nebbiolo FULL-BODIED, RICH, VANILLA, SPICE, DARK FRUIT, COMPLEX, VELVETY, OAK ‘Bric Balin’ is known as the jewel of the estate at Moccagatta. This elegant expression of nebbiolo is big on the palate with dark fruits, spice, and tannin all colliding at once. Floral aromatics tantalize the bouquet, and changes in the glass once it gets a little. Serious, yet fun. FARMING: Organic PAIRING: Carne Cruda (Piemontese Style)

The 2017 Barbaresco Bric Balin is the product of a very challenging growing season marked by hail, frost and a hot, dry summer, conditions that left the wine with drying tannins that are still evident. Even so, the 2017 has developed nicely. New oak accents that were strong last year have softened, while the wine retains good freshness. Dark cherry, plum, mocha and spice linger. All things considered, this is a solid effort, but readers have to be willing to look past the gritty tannins. I would open the 2017 well in advance. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)

Steely tannins! Will need more bottle age or very long aeration. Although I’m not sure if the tannic structure will ever disappear. Barbaresco from the difficult 2017 vintage…
