MOSTO – Bali’s First Natural Wine Bar in Berawa
Low-intervention wines. European soul. Come-as-you-are energy.
Tucked into the laid-back pocket of Berawa between Canggu and Seminyak, Mosto is Indonesia’s very first natural wine bar — a pioneering venue redefining how Bali drinks and dines.
In Italian, “mosto” refers to freshly pressed grape juice before fermentation begins — the pure starting point of winemaking. It’s a fitting name for a space built around authenticity, minimal intervention, and a relaxed yet refined European approach to hospitality.
Founded by Isabella Rowell, Lorenzo De Petris, Nicolas Lento, Federico Sirito, Denny Bakiev and Vanessa Di Maria — all long-time collaborators within the Mexicola Group (known for Da Maria, Luigi’s and Motel Mexicola) — Mosto brings decades of global industry experience to Bali’s evolving dining scene. The team is also behind Lazarus Pulp, the project that produced Indonesia’s first pét-nat, “The Alter Ego.”
A Pure Approach to Wine
At its core, Mosto is a celebration of low-intervention winemaking. Sommelier Nicolas Lento has curated a collection of over 70 labels from small producers around the world — many never before available in Indonesia.
The focus:
- Organic and biodynamic wines
- Native yeast fermentation
- No fining or filtration
- Low or no added sulphur
Wines are available by the glass, carafe, or bottle, with the option to take away. Expect rotating new releases, rare cuvées, international wine fairs, and special tasting events that keep the offering dynamic and exploratory.
Cocktails with Character
The cocktail program, led by Denny Bakiev, blends classic foundations with experimental flair and a zero-waste ethos. Signature creations might include a Yuzu Gimlet with mint and cardamom or a Caffè Latte Negroni infused with milk-washed espresso.
House-made vermouths, digestifs, and repurposed ingredients ensure that creativity and sustainability sit side by side at the bar.
Seasonal Plates, Designed for Sharing
Executive Chef Lorenzo De Petris draws from his Italian heritage and time spent in Michelin-starred kitchens such as Le Gavroche, The Waterside Inn, and Duomo in Sicily to craft an all-day menu of seasonal small plates.
Expect refined yet approachable dishes like:
- Potato and San Daniele prosciutto croquettes
- Skewered ox tongue with salsa verde and gnocco fritto
- Raw scallops with wild mushroom dashi and burnt butter
- Fresh tagliatelle with sambal and coriander pangrattato
- Barbecued chicken with harissa and lime leaf
The menu is built for sharing — vibrant, flavour-driven, and thoughtfully executed without pretension.
Design & Atmosphere
Designed by Sydney-based studio Akin Atelier, the space balances polished concrete, terracotta, pebblecrete, and painted brick with eclectic art and upcycled accents. The result is striking yet comfortable — a setting that feels like an extension of your living room, only with better wine.
Service, led by Federico Sirito and Isabella Rowell, reflects the ethos: knowledgeable yet relaxed, elegant yet unforced.
