short and mildly warm bitter pit fruit-inflected finale

flowers and spices saturate every corner of the palate as this mind-blowing Costa Russi struts its stuff

The color is a sensational black/purple and the nose offers gorgeously intense aromas of black plums

Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Mosconi Size:6x750ml smoke and iodineThe 2016 Barolo Mosconi is a gorgeous wine made all the more remarkable given that Mosconi can't really be said to be a top level site. Dark and imposing, the 2016 captures all the breadth and tannic clout that are such signatures of this site. This is an especially brooding, virile Barolo, but Chiara and Giorgio Boschis clearly brought out all the best the vineyard had to give. Antonio Galloni
