Mosconi
The wine
Barolo Mosconi is crafted from grapes grown in the Mosconi di Monforte d’Alba area at 1,180 – 1,300 feet above sea level and in tuffaceous white soils.
Vinification
Barolo Mosconi is crafted from grapes grown in the beautiful vineyard in the Mosconi di Monforte d’Alba area. Nebbiolo grown in this area develops extraordinary complexity attributable to the vineyard’s south-southwest exposure, an altitude that varies from 360 to 400 meters above sea level (1,181 – 1,312 feet) and tuffaceous white soils.
Winemaking
Freshly harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed, and crushed. Maceration on the skins takes place over a period of 7 days at a temperature that does not exceed 30 °C (86 °F). Malolactic fermentation is completed before the end of winter. The wine is aged in 50 hL oak barrels for at least 18 months.
Historical Data
The Prunotto estate is located in Alba, the most important city in the Langhe area halfway between Barbaresco and Barolo on the right side of the Tanaro river, on gentle plains surrounded by vineyards in the Langhe and Roero territories. The natural beauty of the gently rolling hills alternate with small sloping valleys covered by rows of meticulously cultivated vineyards. The Antinori family, charmed by such rich natural beauty, unique vineyards and soils, decided to invest time and energy in this terroir to make Prunotto one of the most important winemaking estates in the Piedmont region.
Tasting Notes
Barolo Mosconi is a vibrant and intense garnet red color. The nose delivers notes of sage, rosemary, and forest floor accompanied by hints of flowers and spices. The palate is generous and elegant, defined by an important tannic structure. Barolo Mosconi closes with a long, persistent finish.
