Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi 2018
Mosconi is a MGA that is often picked late and so could possibly have benefitted from the warm and dry 20017 vintage. This example from Pio Cesare is focused on elegance with lifted, concentrated aromas and flavours of orange peel, strawberry jam, rose and a touch of smoke, which all become intoxicating on the palate. This great intensity and concentration are supported by firm, muscular tannins and an assertive finish, combined with crisp acidity. Rarely in this 2017 vintage do we find tihs combination of fruit weight and strenght of strucutre. (blind tasted by Aldo Fiordelli)

Colour

Delicate ruby garnet tending to garnet.

Bouquet

Exemplary and deep olfactory spectrum that enhances the goudron, alpine herbs, gentian, juniper, cinchona and rhubarb. It is followed by small berries, eucalyptus and sweet spices. Delicate toasted tones.

Flavour

Silky and elegant at the sip, it is welcoming, tasty. The decisive freshness blends perfectly with the velvety and precious tannic texture. Persistent, it is enhanced by clear references that evoke anise and mint.

Pairing

Meat
Game
Cheese
Matured cheese
Pork
