Country: Italy / Ovello
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Cascina Morassino / Barbaresco
A few famous names have dipped into the Ovello cru for grapes and Cascina Morassino is part of that elite group. Facing the church steeple of Barbaresco, the vineyard delivers smoky notes of tar and asphalt backed by ripe fruit and cedar wood. There’s a wild, messy character to this wine that is charming.
