Mosto Bali

Berawa – the laid-back pocket of Bali tucked between Canggu and Seminyak – is home to Mosto, Indonesia’s very first natural wine bar. In Italian, ‘mosto’ means ‘must’ or the pulpy, freshly pressed, unfermented grape juice that kickstarts the winemaking process.

It’s a fitting name for the casual eatery and bar, which aims to introduce a relaxed, unadulterated and loosely European approach to the up-and-coming area. This is the first venue for partners Isabella Rowell, Lorenzo Depeteris, Nicolas Lento, Federico Sirito, Denny Bakiev and Vanessa Di Maria – all permanent fixtures in Bali’s pioneering Mexicola Group (Da Maria, Luigi’s, Motel Mexicola Seminyak and Canggu) who, together, bring decades worth of industry experience to the table. The collective is also behind the Lazarus Pulp project, responsible for producing and bottling Indonesia’s first pet-nat, “The Alter Ego”, in June of 2021.

Inspired by Sydney’s flourishing wine bar scene and the neo-bistros that have reinvigorated Paris, Mosto is a manifestation of what the drinking and dining experience should be in its purest form – from the pared-back design to the forward-thinking yet accessible menu and, of course, the cocktails and list of low-intervention wines.
