E.Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Barolo Mosconi DOCG 2017

The 2017 Barolo Mosconi is a powerful, brooding wine. Black cherry, gravel, dried herbs, scorched earth, spice, and leather add to an impression of gravitas. This is an especially sombre, potent Barolo that needs time to soften. Even so, it will always be a brute. The substantial-finish is a thing of beauty. The Barolo Mosconi emerges from the estates oldest vines, which are 70-80 years old, and is aged in barrique.
