Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Mosconi other_regions It's a little gruff compared

It's a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today's Le Pavillon but nonetheless is very Hermitage

but they are now all there front and center

There is a fabulous purity to the fruit and a lushness to the texture that lets you know

with strong dark berry and cherry compote flavors and an exotic floral quality that gains strength with air

the 2012 is drinking beautifully today

Chiara Boschis (Pira), Barolo Mosconi other_regions It's a little gruff comparedThe 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
