Moccagatta Barbaresco Bric Balin 2016
Nebbiolo | Italy
$49.95
Hey, if you opened this email you are probably hip to how outrageously fantastic the ‘16s are. In my 25+ years of doing this, for across-the-board pleasure AND long-term cellaring, I can’t think of one better. The level of depth and balance is truly astounding.
We have a small (small!) parcel today of the world-class Bric Balin, from the slopes of the Muncagöta cru (which happens to be the dialect form of “Moccagatta”).

Vinous
The 2016 Barbaresco Bric Balin, Moccagatta's flagship, is fabulous. Rich and sumptuous in the glass, with tremendous allure, the 2016 has so much to offer. A rush of dark cherry, espresso, licorice, spice and leather builds as this creamy, luscious Barbaresco shows off its immediacy and appeal. There is plenty of tannin, but it is nearly buried by the wine's luxurious fruit. What a gorgeous wine this is. The 2016 is once again simply compelling. Another year in bottle has only been a help.
Wine Spectator
Well-marked by vanilla, coconut and toasty oak aromas and flavors, this red offers ripe cherry and plum notes and a spine of vibrant acidity. This should really sing once it integrates more fully. Features a fine, mouthwatering finish, with a chalky, minerally aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2037. 1,100 cases made, 500 cases imported.
