E. Pira & Figli Barolo Mosconi 2017 marries dark, ripe cherry and plum fruit with lifted raspberry, violet and lilac tones, layered over gravel, dried herbs, spice and a hint of tar and leather. The palate is full-bodied yet poised, driven by firm, tightly knit tannins and a stony, savory undercurrent that carries through a long, authoritative finish. A serious, brooding Mosconi that gains finesse with air and will reward patience in the cellar.

Barolo Mosconi by E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) is a single‑cru, organically farmed Nebbiolo from the historic Mosconi vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, a high, south‑facing site around 370 meters that naturally yields powerful, long‑lived Barolo. Typically aged about two years in lightly toasted French oak and then in bottle, it marries the dark, brooding structure and firm tannins typical of Mosconi with Boschis’ polished, aromatic style, giving wines that show both intensity and notable finesse.
