Description

The 2018 E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Mosconi is a stunning Barolo wine that represents the unique terroir of the Mosconi vineyard in the Piedmont region of Italy.

The flavours of dark fruit are complemented by a touch of spice, with a hint of oak and mineral notes on the finish. The wine's acidity is well-balanced, adding a refreshing lift to the full-bodied palate. This is a wine of exceptional depth and complexity, with a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of its impeccable quality. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now but will also age gracefully over the next two decades or more.

Overall, the 2018 E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Mosconi is a superb wine that highlights the unique character and potential of the Mosconi vineyard and demonstrates the winery's dedication to producing top-quality Barolo from the Piedmont region.

Review

Chiara Boschis has recently purchased more vineyards in the Mosconi cru located at a cool 370 meters in elevation in Monforte d'Alba. Sourcing its fruit from an organic 1.9-hectare parcel, the 2018 Barolo Mosconi is available in a slightly larger production of 9,000 bottles. This is terrific news for those who love the focus and precision that Chiara Boschis is known for. The Mosconi carries generous fruit weight and volume over a streamlined mouthfeel and tight tannins. The wine ends with fresh notes of blackberry, plum and wild rose.

The 2018 Barolo Mosconi shows all the gravitas and natural darkness of this site, but in miniature. Black cherry, plum, gravel, smoke, crushed rocks and incense fill out the layers. There is plenty of Mosconi muscle, even if the volume of the best years isn't there.
