Morra Gabriele Barbaresco 2021

An elegant Barbaresco with lifted rose and red cherry, refined tannins, and a long, structured finish, ideal for refined meat dishes and truffle cuisine.

🍷 Tasting notes

Appearance

• Garnet with ruby core, typical Nebbiolo evolution

Nose

• Red fruit: sour cherry, raspberry
• Floral: rose, violet (classic Barbaresco signature)
• Spice: anise, white pepper
• Tertiary hints: tobacco, dried herbs, light earth

Palate

• Dry, medium → full body
• High acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins
• Precise structure with layered flavours: red fruit, spice, and earthy complexity
• Elegant rather than heavy, with strong aromatic lift

Finish

• Long and persistent
• Floral, savoury, and slightly mineral

Style summary

• Classic Barbaresco: structured, aromatic, and finesse-driven Nebbiolo

🍽️ Food pairing

🍝 Ideal pairings

Pasta & risotto (top matches)

• Tagliatelle with truffle
• Mushroom risotto

👉 Earthy flavours mirror Nebbiolo complexity

🥩 Meat dishes

• Osso buco
• Braised beef / slow-cooked meats
• Veal and lamb

👉 Protein + fat soften tannins and support structure

🍄 Earthy & refined cuisine

• Truffle-based dishes
• Mushroom preparations

🧀 Cheese

• Aged cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, aged Pecorino)

⚖️ Pairing logic

• High tannins → require protein and fat
• High acidity → balances rich sauces
• Aromatic complexity → matches refined, earthy dishes

🧭 Serving tips

• Serve at 16–18 °C
• Decant 1–2 hours (important for young Barbaresco)
• Drink from 2026–2035+ (excellent aging potential)

🧩 Takeaway

A refined, structured Nebbiolo built for gastronomy—best paired with rich, savoury, and earthy dishes that match its elegance and depth.
