Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Ruby red color with orange hues and full, round aromas. It is austere on the palate, but the tannins released by the grapes from older vines makes it mellow, soft, and long-lasting on the finish.
"Cascina Morassino is a boutique winery with 3.5 hectares in Ovello and 1.5 hectares in Neive, including the Cottà MGA. This 2018 is open-knit, offering up a smorgasbord of wild rose, violet and peony. It has a Pinot-like lightness with sucrosity, combining a strawberry fruit character and crunchy tannins with acid that carries the finish. Lacking some complexity yet not savouriness. An easy-drinking Barbaresco."- Decanter.
"Still tightly closed and primary, this has aromas of forest floor, leather and rose. On the tight, racy palate, vigorous acidity accompanies sour cherry, cranberry and star anise alongside taut tannins. Give it time to fully come together. Drink after 2029."- Wine Enthusiast.
Varietal: Nebbiolo.
