Musso
Musso is one of the best and most underrated producers not just of Barbaresco but of Italy. An historic family of Barbaresco (an ancestor was mayor of Barbaresco in the mid-1800s), the Musso estate was founded in1929, so they have been making wine for quite some time. Hail devastated vineyards soon thereafter and so the owner at the time, Sebastiano Musso, became a grape mediator (he was the official grape buyer for the Borgogno winery for something like ten years until the 60s). When his son Agostino came back to the winery in 1969, they bought vineyards in the excellent crus of Rio Sordo and Pora (about 1.5 hectares of Pora and one hectare in Rio Sordo). Today the estate can count on 10 hectares, and makes about 75,000 bottles.
