2016 Barolo Mosconi

The 2016 Barolo Mosconi shows all the attributes of this site to great effect, specifically a feeling of volume that is not found in the other Barolos. Dark red fruit, cedar, iron and scorched earth add layers of nuance. Mosconi Barolos almost always have a chunky, four-square-ish feel, which is very much the case here, the wine’s considerable charms notwithstanding. The Mosconi spent 22 months in used 500-liter tonneaux.
