Please note, orders are processed on a first come basis. If you leave the wine in your cart for even a few minutes it might have already sold out as our stock quantity is removed when you submit the order in final, not when you add it to your cart!
You will get two emails from us with regards to your order. The first email from us only confirms that we received your order. The second email will confirm that we have enough wine to fill your order. Due to the high volume of sales there are times when the wine has sold out, but our system is still updating and shows it as available. We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

"Superfresh and focused, delivering pure flavors of blackberry, black currant, violet, mineral and a hint of tar. This is all backed by refined tannins and bright acidity, a structure that should allow this to develop over the next 20 years. Best from 2014 through 2030." 94 Points - Wine Spectator
"The 2007 Barbaresco Bric Balin is simply gorgeous. This is a decidedly fat, generous Bric Balin endowed with layers of red fruit, cinnamon, cloves and crushed flowers. The oak is very nicely balanced. In 2007 the Bric Balin possesses an unusual amount of depth and textural richness. The tannins are also a bit backward, suggesting the wine needs another 2-3 years to fully open up. This is an impressive effort from Moccagatta. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. " 93 Points - Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
"This gorgeous Barbaresco from the celebrated Bric Balin cru opens with natural heft and opulent layers of cherry, vanilla, wild berry, spice, old leather, chocolate and smoke. The wineâs consistency is on the dark, heavy side and the feeling it imparts on the palate is one of richness and smoothness. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers." 92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Good full red. Aromas of strawberry, mocha, caramel and smoky oak. Dense, ripe and sweet, with the lush texture to buffer its firm acid spine. Plenty of texture and sweetness here. I find these tannins to be plusher and riper than those of the 2006." 92 Points - Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar
WINE:
"Moccagatta bottles 3 Barbarescos from 3 crus of radically different character. The "Bric Balin" is the jewel of the estate. Matured entirely in part-new barrique, it is an elegant, velvety wine with dense red fruits, cocoa and spice." -Importer
VINIFICATION:
"The grapes are macerated on the skins in temperature-controlled steel tanks, then the wine is aged in French-oak barriques, of which approximately 40% are new, for 18 months." -Importer
ESTATE:
"Franco and Sergio Minuto's extraordinary 11-hectare Moccagatta estate holds vines in the two townships of Barbaresco and Neive. The Barbarescos come from three crus of radically different character â Basarin, Cole, and Bric Balin â each one vinified separately so as to enhance the character particular to the terroir.
