Accolades

• Wine Advocate: 98 Points – "With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most powerful of the three wines presented here. Bottled on the full August moon, the wine is impeccably balanced and bright with dark fruit, black cherry, spice, and pencil shaving. The tannic structure of the wine is impressive, and you can count on Mosconi for long aging potential."
• Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points – "The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is a bit deeper in color, with its jeweled appearance leading to floral, fresh, and spicy notes of ripe cherry, pink peppercorn, and fresh rosemary. It is medium to full-bodied, with great purity, and has ripe, sweet tannins that fill the palate alongside balanced fruit, hints of forest floor, and a bit of cedar. It is long on the palate and needs more time."
