The 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is magical

juicy wine that finishes with sweet but firm building tannins and noteworthy persistence

The palate impression of the medium weight flavors is equally refined with unusually good volume as well as even more evident minerality on the dusty

70 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines that for the last 5 years has been worked exclusively by horse

This is made up of 78% Cabernet from Agrelo and Uco

Musso, Barbaresco Pora Brut Zero The 2019 Pinot Noir RunningValter Musso and his son Emanuele run this traditional 10ha property. They produce two single vineyard wines, Rio Sordo and Pora. In 2015, Rio Sordo was the more impressive but in 2016 Pora seems the finer, although both are of high quality. The raspberry scented nose is still reserved, but the palate is more lavish, with a velvety texture balanced by firm acidity as well as tannins. There's spice and lift on the long finish.
