Tasting notes
The 2011 Barolo Mosconi shows thick lines and dark density with well-defined notes of dried cherry, balsam herb, licorice and dark chocolate. Its consistency is plush and soft, although that characteristic tannic backbone does much to keep the wine tightly stitched together. Barolo Mosconi delivers warm vintage traits on the nose and the textural firmness of a cooler year. The results are unique and compelling. This Barolo ages in oak for two years.

Bright ruby. Almost opulently floral on the nose. Round and fleshy. Very come-hither and full. But still with lots of acidity. This should remain refreshing and it does have notable energy. (JR)
A dark, brooding wine, the 2011 Barolo Mosconi captures the sense of this Monforte site in its intense flavors and broad, ample frame. Black cherries, savory herbs, mint, tobacco, smoke and incense all flesh out in the glass as this opulent, virile Barolo shows off its personality. While the Cannubi is purely silk and sensuality, the Mosconi is all muscle. It will therefore hold more appeal to readers who like massive, powerful Barolos.
The 2011 Barolo Mosconi shows the rich, broad personality of this south-facing site in Monforte. Graphite, melted road tar, cloves and plums open up in a rich, powerful Barolo built on a sense of gravitas. The Mosconi is all about darkness and density.
