Estate
Welcome to Mura Mura, where the beauty and tradition of Piedmont yield wines of exceptional elegance and harmony.Guido Martinetti and Federico Grom, childhood friends and founders of Gelaterie GROM, bought the land in Costigliole d’Asti in 2008, giving life to Mura Mura farm. Initially the 8-hectare property was almost entirely dedicated to the production of fruit.
In 2011, 2015 and 2018, Martinetti and Grom expanded the estates boundaries. They purchased additional hectares of land, which today includes 30 hectares in Costigliole, of which 10 are mainly planted to Barbera and Grignolino vines. They have also established 4 hectares in the Barbaresco DOCG and a 1 hectare in Serralunga d'Alba, in the Barolo DOCG.
Mura Mura is a SQNPI Sustainably certified company, respecting the climatic environmental and cultural character that distinguish the different agricultural areas of the Italian territory.

Tasting Notes
Medium-intensity ruby red color. The nose reveals aromas of marasca cherry, violet, cinnamon, and rhubarb, with hints of vanilla. On the palate, the tannins are silky, lending elegance to the wine. The finish is long and persistent
