CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Bric Balin is a proprietor name for a 2.4-hectare site within the Muncagota cru. The Moccagatta 2018 Barbaresco Bric Balin is a beautifully dense and rich expression, with deep layers of dark fruit and plenty of steady intensity. it is powered by a 15% alcohol content that is not overly noticeable. The wine is structured and tight with an especially developed texture and structure that adds to the wine's overall length and staying power. The Bric Balin shows an elegant, firm and well-etched side of the vintage and offers us a fine wine from Moccagatta."


Vinous - "The 2018 Barbaresco Bric Balin is laced with the essence of sweet red berry, mint, cinnamon and rose petal. Gracious and lifted, with striking inner perfume, the 2018 is all class. It is especially beautiful with a few hours of air."
