“This is so floral, with violets, roses, dark fruit and lovely sandalwood and cedar. A touch of flint, too. Medium- to full-bodied with such elegance and a long and rather endless finish. It goes on and on. What a wine. Drink after 2027.”

Wine Adcovate 95/100

The Pio Cesare 2021 Barolo Mosconi draws its fruit from one of the most celebrated MGA sites in Monforte d’Alba recognized for its rich and powerful wines. This expression does indeed open to a dark color and medium-rich concentration with a texture that is both velvety and smooth. Aromas recall sweet earth, spice, blackcurrant and cured tobacco. The wine is quite elaborate and complete, showing multiple dimensions of Nebbiolo both in terms of elegance and brawn. It ends with well-managed tannins that give this wine a slightly more approachable personality.

VINTAGE 2020

Wine Advocate 95/100
Drink Date: 2026 – 2043

With fruit from Montforte d’Alba, the Pio Cesare 2020 Barolo Mosconi was first produced in 2015. Although the winery team has more than five years of experience with Mosconi, Cesare Benvenuto tells me that there was a steep learning curve with this wine. Mosconi is 300 meters removed from Ornato; however, the results are quite different, especially in terms of the mouthfeel. Mosconi shows silky or velvety tannins, and Ornato is more structured. This wine is lifted in terms of aromas, with bright raspberry and blue flowers. It reveals an open but translucent quality that gives this Barolo an especially elegant and undertone personality. Production is 6,900 bottles.

James Suckling 99/100

Enchanting aromas of flowers like violets and lemon blossom, with raspberries and cranberries. Full-bodied yet focused and framed with a structure that builds on your palate and grows and grows, yet it remains fresh and vivid. The tannins are energetic and so, so long. A contemporary jewel. Fascinating. Thoughtful wine. Only the oldest vines are used in this from the 1940s and 1960s.
