The 2020 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is the most potent and tannic of these wines, but it retains the mid-weight signature of the year and the more nuanced style that is the norm these days at Conterno-Fantino. Dark, ample and broad on the palate, the 2020 offers up a beguiling mix of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, incense, licorice and dried herbs. The 2020 is a complex, dynamic wine that constantly changes in the glass. It should provide exceptional drinking for the next 15-20 years. This is classic Mosconi.

Equally compelling, the 2020 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped boasts a ruby hue and reveals layered notes of blood orange, apricot, roses, tea leaf, and wild raspberries. Savory on the palate, it has a noble structure, with outstanding definition and persistence. I ‘m impressed with the overall balance and finesse this wine has to offer.

This exceptional wine is deep and dusky, packed with mineral, floral and savory notes that will blossom with time. It shows iron, iodine and rose petals in the nose, then lithe tannins wrap up cranberries, bitter orange, and sour cherry. Best from 2028.

The Conterno Fantino 2020 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped has aromas of brandied cherry, Luxardo cherry liqueur, oak toast, licorice root and dark rye. This Barolo is relatively tight in terms of its texture, with good intensity, chalky tannins and sufficient fruit to stand up to the tannins. Fruit comes from a one-hectare site with a combination of sand, silt and clay. Production

Well-defined flavors of cherry, raspberry, rose and wild herbs are the hallmarks of this elegant yet firmly structured red. There's a mineral undercurrent and a crisp, persistent aftertaste.
