The 2012 Barolo Mosconi is one of the big surprises of this tasting. This is a gorgeous expression with a deep and enduring sense of balance. The wine offers excellent intensity with black fruit and spice, nicely contrasted against more subtle tones of licorice, red rose and polished river stone. The tannins are firm and tight, yet they show the latitude needed for long cellar-aging.

About this wine
E. Pira e Figli is a family-run winery located in the heart of the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. Founded in the late 19th century, the winery has been producing Barolo wines for over a century. The Barolo Mosconi is a classic expression of the Nebbiolo grape, grown in the Mosconi vineyard. The wine is aged for at least three years in large oak barrels, giving it a deep ruby colour and intense aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and leather.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins and a long finish. The Barolo Mosconi is a perfect accompaniment to red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Enjoy this classic Italian wine with your favourite dishes for a truly memorable experience.
