2019 Mura Mura - Barbaresco Faset

The 2019 Mura Mura Barbaresco Faset represents a precise expression of Nebbiolo cultivated in the central Barbaresco zone, capturing the distinct equilibrium of concentration and acidity characteristic of the 2019 Piedmont harvest. That year’s growing conditions delivered steady warmth followed by cool nighttime temperatures, allowing the grapes to achieve full phenolic maturity while preserving the bright structural framework required by the denomination.

Serving between sixty-six and sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit brings out the primary aromatic spectrum of wild strawberry, crushed red cherry, and dried rose petal, supported by secondary notes of cured tobacco, wet limestone, and black pepper. The palate features tight yet tightly knit tannins that anchor a focused mid-body, delivering a dry, mineral-forward conclusion that reflects the sandstone and clay composition of the Faset vineyard plot.

This bottle aligns closely with labor-intensive regional cooking. The built-in acidity and savory tannic grip cut through rich collagen and fat, making slow-roasted lamb shanks, braised beef cheeks, or cacio e pepe with house-made tonnarelli reliable matches. Firm, aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Vecchio Piave also harmonize with the wine’s earthy undertones. Decant for twenty to thirty minutes before pouring to allow the youthful structure to open and integrate.
