Musso - Piedmont, Barbaresco, Italy
Close friends and neighbours of the Giacosa family – in fact they were introduced to us through Maria Grazia during a visit to Vinitaly in 2005. This is a family domain, of 13ha, which, once again, has a pedigree for making fine Piedmont wines stretching back to the early 1900s when it was under the ownership of Valter Musso's great grandfather. Valter's wife, Paola, a former attorney, is the domain's administrator.
It was the charm and finesse of the white wines that first won our approval. They offered a quality and delicacy balanced with developed flavours that stood out even after a long day tasting over-oaked and concentrated ‘Super Tuscans’. The discovery of the range of excellent Grappas proved to be too good a chance to miss – not to everyone’s taste but these should be sampled and savoured before pronouncing an opinion.
The biggest exporter of wine in the world, Italy produces a myriad of wines from dry, white Pinot Grigio to deep red Barollo from Piemonte. The results are usually excellent, with some of the Super Tuscans being the most sought-after wines in the world. The country's wines are made primarily from two types of grapes, Nebbiolo and Sangiovese. The Nebbiolo grapes used in the north western part of the country, Sangiovese create one of the better-known Italian wines, Chianti, and are native to the central Tuscany and Umbria regions.
