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 Piedmont region is located in the foothills of the Alps, in the northwest corner of Italy, forming its border with France and Switzerland.
The Arneis grape is fast growing in popularity amongst consumers and wine writers alike. Robert Parker describes it as one of his ‘favorite wines to drink as an aperitivo’ and one of the ‘Best wines values in the world’.
Based on the left bank of the river Tanaro in Piedmont Roero is renowned for its Arneis and Nebbiolo. Arneis, meaning ‘little rascal’ in the Piemontese dialect, is a delicate white variety that thrives in the chalky and sandy soil of this region. The wines tend to be dry, crisp with good minerality and strong flavors of apple, pear and apricot
