"Lots of spices and earth with dark berries on the nose. Full-bodied with fine and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish with blackberries and cinnamon. Racy and silky texture at the finish. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2026 but already a joy to taste."

"Mid to deep crimson. Already irresistible on the nose with deep, intense fruit and a touch of complex oak. Still very youthful but with plenty of succulent fruit and a thick layer of polished tannins. Endlessly long. (WS)"

"The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most potent of the three Barolos in the range. It exudes Monforte darkness and virile intensity from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spice infuse the 2019 with tons of character. This is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Mosconi, a site that does not naturally lend itself to finesse."

"With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most powerful of the three wines presented here. We tasted it last. Bottled on the full August moon, the wine is impeccably balanced and bright with dark fruit, black cherry, spice and pencil shaving. The tannic structure of the wine is impressive, and you can count on Mosconi for long aging potential."

"A fresh, firmly structured red, boasting cherry and raspberry fruit at the core, framed by mint, tar and iron flavors. Broad-shouldered, with a solid matrix of tannins that dominate the finish today. Packs generous ripe fruit, so be patient. Best from 2027 through 2047. ‡B.S."
