"The 2016 vintage marked Massimo Benevelli’s first release from Mosconi—one of the most prestigious vineyard sites in his village of Monforte d’Alba, if not all of Barolo. Subsequent vintages of this unfiltered Nebbiolo feature a savory and utterly saucy core, along with plenty of guts to guarantee a long life ahead. Impressive today, it will need time to show its very best" Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
94 points "Benevelli's Barolo Mosconi is big and strapping in feel. The Mosconi is loaded with graphite, tobacco, melted road tar, cloves, leather and incense. Time in the glass brings out the wine's layers and overall depth. This powerhouse Barolo is such a head-turner today." - Vinous Media
