Morassina
Giuseppe Cortese
Morassina
A wine of great intensity, in which the freshness of the vine balances perfectly with the fullness of the aging in Slavonian oak wood.
Tasting Notes
Vinous, intense and velvety aroma; dry and full-bodied flavor; of an intense purplish red color, almost impenetrable.
Food Pairing
This wine is ideal with rich pastas, main course meat dishes, salumi, and hard cheeses.

Brand Materials
“Just bottled, the 2020 Barbera d'Alba Morassina is still coming together, but is also quite promising. Macerated dark cherry, tobacco, grilled herbs and lavender bring out the darker, richer side of Barbera. I am looking forward to tasting this with more bottle age.”
