Tasting Notes

Barolo Mosconi comes from from a single vineyard of a newly acquired property in Monforte d’Abla. This 0.8 hectare site rests at 370m, and faces south. After a native ferment in stainless, with frequent pumping over and punch downs, all of the Baroli were aged in lightly toasted 30% new French oak for 24 months, and one year further in the bottle prior to release. The vinification and aging are kept across the three Baroli, to highlight the differences of the terroir.

Critical Praise

Barolo Mosconi is a powerful, brooding wine. Black cherry, gravel, dried herbs, scorched earth, spice and leather add to an impression of gravitas. This is an especially somber, potent Barolo that needs time to soften. Even so, it will always be a brute. The substantial finish is a thing of beauty. The Barolo Mosconi emerges from the estates oldest vines, which are 70-80 years old, and is aged in barrique. Drink 2025-2037
