Riserva Muncagota Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

From one of my favorite co-ops. I believe they are still the third largest co-op in Europe. Their tasting room sits on the top of the hill in the center of Barbaresco under & to the side of the church with an easy downhill short walk to Gaja.

2019 was a very good vintage in Piedmont.

The nose shows some light smokiness and lightly grilled meats. Dullish fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, raspberries with notes of black raspberries. Sandstone, dark earth and dark withering flowers with red roses.

The palate is ripe, juicy and lush. Quite pleasant for a youthful Barbaresco. Blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, black raspberries, raspberries & blueberry hues. Crushed sandstone & limestone, nice mid spice, dry tobacco, tough leatheriness, barrel shavings, soft presence mix of dry & fresh herbs, dry river stone, red cola, brilliant red florals, red & pink roses, excellent acidity with a nicely tensioned, structured, balanced, elegant finish that lasts minutes landing on wood & dry earth.

Another one to cellar 8-10 plus years.

We had a tasting there some years ago with Aldo Vacca (after climbing the tower) but couldn’t crack a tasting at Gaja just down the road.

@Bob McDonald Sofia & I visited in the fall of 2015. Now if you want to visit, even professionals, they require each person to make a $200 euro donation to their charity. A good cause but spendy for most.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought the model 6. So far have not used it for long term preservation. More to be able to enjoy a couple wines over the course of a week. Even then I notice changes an reds. And when I reach the bottom third of a bottle I will just pull the cork.

I also find the cartridges stupid expensive, though. If only I could rig my own argon tank!

I’ve seen recommendations to buy a thinner needle for the times you might want to store a sampled bottle for a long time. But I do tend to see it as good for short term preservation, not for periods of months.

Tough and compact. Just ripe crunchy strawberries and soaring complex aromatics. One to lay away, but massive potential. — 16 days ago

The 2021 Barbaresco is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, spice, mint and orange peel are all beautifully lifted in this ethereal, understated Barbaresco from Prunotto. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2024)
