Deep garnet in color, the Barolo Mosconi has a fruity bouquet recalling brushwood, berry fruit, and brier rose. This wine has gorgeous structure, ripe, rich tannins, and complexity. Pairs well with meat dishes and seasoned cheese.
The 2017 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is deep, resonant and expansive, as wines from this site tend to be. In this tasting, the Mosconi is wonderfully deep. Its stature alone is compelling. And yet there is so much to the Mosconi. Readers will find a Barolo that melds together a rich, racy expression of fruit with plenty of structure that wraps everything together. Rich red fruit, blood orange, tar, spice and cedar build as the 2017 gains volume through to the finish.
The 2017 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped sources its fruit from a small vineyard plot measuring less than one hectare that is composed of sand, silt and clay soils. This special wine shows dark fruit with cherry and blackcurrant, all followed by spice, tar and earth. The hot and dry growing conditions in 2017 make for extra intensity and concentration, with firm tannins that hold it all together. The cooling altitudes at 360 to 380 meters above sea level and the general conditions of Monteforte d'Alba mean that this wine shows good integration.
This is bright and full of cherry, berry, floral and tar aromas and flavors. There is a light touch of oak spice as this gathers steam, lingering on the firmly structured finish. Fine length and potential.
