ABOUT THIS WINE
Cascina Morassino's Barbaresco Morassino 2019 hails from the highly regarded Ovello cru in the Barbaresco DOCG of Piedmont, Italy. This single-cru wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo, a grape that thrives in the region's calcareous marl and clay soils. The estate, managed by Roberto Bianco, is a family affair with a four-generation history in winemaking. Founded officially in 1984, Cascina Morassino focuses on producing long-lived Nebbiolo wines that balance traditional structure with modern fruit expression. The 2019 vintage is noted for its enhanced concentration and balance, reflecting the unique terroir of the Ovello vineyard, which is also home to other renowned producers.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cascina Morassino employs a traditional winemaking approach for its Barbaresco Morassino. Grapes are sourced from the Ovello cru and harvested manually. Fermentation and maceration occur in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in large 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. This process is designed to craft wines that express the unique terroir of Ovello while balancing fruit-forward characteristics with classic Nebbiolo structure.
