2015 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped Conterno Fantino

Aromas of dark berries and hints of iron and spice follow through to a full body, lots of tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows intensity and power. Drink in 2022 and beyond.

This sample shows that the 2015 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is surely a child of its hot vintage. You really can feel the warmth in this dark and concentrated Barolo and its 15% alcohol. There is a lot of round, ripe and fruit- forward intensity here, but there is no doubting its elegance. Dark fruit notes mix with earthy tones of potting soil and dark truffle.

The 2015 Barolo Mosconi is deep, succulent and richly-textured on the palate. The intensity, power and gravitas of Mosconi comes through in a wine of dark, brooding intensity. Smoke, leather, scorched earth, tar and licorice add to the wine's distinctly virile personality. I would prefer to drink it on the earlier side. 2021 - 2030.

Bright, complex and multidimensional, exuding plum, black cherry, iron, tobacco, tar and eucalyptus flavors. A vibrant character persists through the long finish, which is lined with pointed yet refined tannins. Best from 2024 through 2045.
