The Winery
Fratelli Mossio is located in Rodello, a small village between Barolo and Barbaresco in Northern Italy’s Piemonte region. The town has seen more than a few vintages – its ancient wine history dates back to the 1300’s. Dolcetto is a regional grape that grows near the town of Alba. Mossio is always featured in theSlow Food* Slow Wine Guide and is regularly awarded by them for wines of outstanding quality at an everyday price.
The family’s website is translated into English with such rustic charm, we dare not edit from its original version:
The Langa and Roero wine and food heritage needs to be passed on and protected
A knowledge conscious of the passing of time and seasons which is not easy to narrate, especially when we realize that the personality and unique character of this territory was able to attract tourists from all over the world. This was supported by the recent recognition of theLanghe, Roero and Monferrato wine-growing landscapes as Unesco World Heritage.
An appeal which, in autumn, is caused by the bouquet of wine and the flavor of the white truffle of Alba; in spring and summer the cooking innovates with appetizers made with vegetables, meat and the first courses are characterized by tajarin (home-made noodles) and agnolotti del plin (home-made stuffed pasta)We dont leave out the Fassone meat, the cheeses and also the desserts with their unmistakable taste of Tonda e Gentile (round and gentle) hazelnut from the Langhe.
To discover us is a true pleasure
