Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is a terrific wine from this site. Rich and explosive, the 2019 offers plenty of Mosconi intensity along with the more classic sense of structure that is now a house signature. Dark red fruit, sage, blood orange, tobacco and cedar are all beautifully amplified in this dramatic, full-throttle Barolo.

The Pio Cesare 2019 Barolo Mosconi (with 6,685 bottles and larger formats on the market) offers the structure and length of Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba. You also get a salty mineral tone or rusty iron that frames a core of wild berry and blackcurrant. The Mosconi always appears very linear and direct to me, and that special sharpness is what I like best about this vintage.
Monforte d’Alba. Mid-to-deep ruby with orange tinges. Less exalted that the Parusso version but with the same perfumed undertow and with savoury, minerally and oaky hints. Totally seductive palate of succulent, round fruit spiked with gripping tannins. More to come. (WS)
My favorite of the Pio Cesare wines at this tasting, the 2019 Barolo Mosconi displays great balance in is notes of raspberry liqueur, pressed roses, and blood orange. With fine, ripe tannins and a note of salty mineral earth, it is fresh and persistent with ripe red fruit and orange peel and is long on the palate. Drink 2025-2045.
