The 2019 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine is magical

Musso, Barbaresco Pora Brut Zero juicy wine that finishes withValter 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.
