Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped, Conterno Fantino 2015

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

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 from 2022.

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. 2022 - 2040
