In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Red berries and balsamic emerge first, layered over mineral stone that speaks directly of Barbaresco's calcareous marl soils. Silky tannins carry you through a lingering finish without fatigue. This is restrained confidence—measured, not bombastic—that rewards patience in the glass and, better still, food on the table.

The Winery — Mura Mura

Guido Martinetti and Federico Grom, whose gelateria empire proved they understood ingredient integrity, entered winemaking in 2015 with the same uncompromising philosophy. Their name means 'enjoy life slowly' in Malagasy, and it reflects their approach to viticulture. Vineyards now span three of Piedmont's most respected communes. The 2021 vintage was shaped by snow in winter, a cool spring, August heat tempered by autumn's cool nights, and early October harvest—building tension in the grapes that translates to focus and purity. Fermented in large French oak, aged 12 months in barrel followed by a year in ceramic amphorae (preserving freshness), then six months in bottle before release.
