• Mustela is based in the southern tip of Barbaresco in the area of Meruzzano. At 500m above sea level this is one of the highest elevation terroirs in all of Barbaresco capable of producing wines as complex as they are elegant. This area directly faces Savona in Liguria, and there's a blood orange/ citric quality in the wines that comes from these coastal wind patterns.

• The soils of Meruzzano are a blend a Calcarious clay and blue/ grey marl that are loose/oxygen rich and allow these vines to dig deep and retain balance even in extreme vintages.

• Winemaker Giuliano Luorio (who honed his skills working with Orlando Abrigo) uses a low impact approach in his farming and an old school/rustic approach in the cellar: large format neutral slavonian oak, spontaneous fermentation, extremely gentle punch downs and sulphur usage that stays below 40ppm.

• Mustela is one of the smaller producers in the T. Edward portfolio as a whole with only 15 hectares under vine and 6 in Barbaresco. Less than 500 cases of Barbaresco are produced annually.
