Tasting note
The 2020 Mosconi is youthful, but this delicious vintage has a gentle, appealing character that enables the wine to be enjoyed now, although it also offers superb cellaring potential. With a deep ruby colour and terracotta rim, it is immediately expressive, with fantastic aromas of raspberry, black cherry, cedar, sandalwood, black liquorice, roast chestnut and fallen autumn leaves leaping from the glass. In the mouth, it's irresistibly plump, rounded and juicy, although this fleshiness conceals a firm structure of tight tannin and bright acidity. This is drinking surprisingly well at a young age, and promises to provide decades of pleasure. Now-2046. The Mosconi cru is a cool site - located at 370 metres elevation in Monteforte d’Alba.
In the press
98/100 - Red/ruby in color, the 2020 Barolo Mosconi is more red-fruited on the nose, with lifted freshness in its delicate spice of red raspberry, anise, dried roses, and dusty earth. It has a more linear feel, with ripe tannins, a chalky texture, and wonderful, pure notes of apricot on the finish. An absolutely gorgeous red, the 2020 vintage for Mosconi really shines and Chiara has knocked it out of the park.
Vineyard
From the oldest vineyard on the eponymous estate in Monforte d'Alba. The soil is typically Helvetian, with older formations. It consists of clayey, calcareous marl with a slightly grayish hue, alternating with siliceous sandstone. In some areas, the presence of calcium carbonate and iron lends a warmer color and a slight pinkish hue.
Viticulture
Nebbiolo from clones of Michet and Lampia grown at an altitude of approximately 400m above sea level.
Vinification
At least 2 years in small, lightly toasted French oak barrels and approximately 1 year in bottle.
Food Match
Furred game, braised meats, or otherwise very flavorful red meat dishes. Mature cheeses.
