Barolo “Vigna Ped” Mosconi DOCG 2020

Conterno Fantino | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Conterno Fantino | Via Ginestra 1 | IT 12065 Monforte d'Alba

Impressive, very complex aroma of tar, smoke, liquorice, scorched earth, dark fruits and pebbles. With some aeration, dark, rich red fruits, exotic spices and smoked bacon. Very virile, dark and muscular on the palate, with an exciting contrast of austerity and extract sweetness. The opulence and intensity of the flavours and the still monumental tannins give an idea of what a great red with a strong personality is maturing here in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Conterno Fantino 2020 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped has aromas of brandied cherries, Luxardo cherry liqueur, oak toast, liquorice and dark rye. This Barolo is relatively dense in texture, with good intensity, chalky tannins and enough fruit to stand up to the tannins. The fruit comes from a one-hectare site with a combination of sand, silt and clay." Wine Advocate

"Well-defined flavors of cherry, raspberry, rose and wild herbs are the hallmarks of this elegant yet firmly structured red. There's a mineral undercurrent and a crisp, persistent aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"This exceptional wine is deep and sombre, packed with mineral, floral and savoury notes that will blossom with time. It shows iron, iodine and rose petals on the nose, then supple tannins wrap around cranberry, bitter orange and sour cherry. Best from 2028." James Suckling

"The 2020 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is the most powerful and tannic of these wines, but it retains the mid-weight signature of the vintage and the more nuanced style that is the norm at Conterno-Fantino these days. On the palate, the 2020 is dark, lush and broad, offering a beguiling mix of dark fruits, leather, tobacco, incense, liquorice and dried herbs. The 2020 is a complex, dynamic wine that is constantly changing in the glass. It should offer exceptional drinking pleasure over the next 15-20 years. This is a classic Mosconi." Vinous
