Moccagatta is one estate where the 2012s are likely to surpass the 2011s, wines that remain indelibly marked by the intense heat of the year. I find gorgeous purity of fruit in the 2012s here, which is exactly the hallmark of the Moccagatta style at its best. The Moccagatta Barbarescos spend about 18 months in French oak barrels, 40-70% new.

Moccagatta's 2010 Barbarescos are just as fabulous today as they were last year, even if they have begun to shut down in bottle. The 2011s, from a much earlier harvest, could not be more different in style. That year the harvest was very early, even more so than in 2007. The wines are dark, voluptuous and intense, with tons of early appeal, but naturally less of the energy of the 2010. Both vintages will provide Moccagatta fans with considerable pleasure. Today, the Moccagatta Barbarescos spend about 18 months in French oak barrels, about 50% new. These beautiful Barbarescos are among my favorite wines in their respective price ranges.
