Benevelli Barolo "Mosconi"

2020
Vinified in stainless steel tanks, macerated for 30 days. Aged 20 months in 500-L tonneaux.The highest-elevation vines of the domaine’s holdings at 400-420 meters above sea level
"The newest addition to Benevelli’s Barolo repertoire, Mosconi is one of the southernmost vineyards of the Barolo zone in Monforte d’Alba, surrounded by Ginestra, Le Coste, and Ravera di Monforte. Massimo crafts his most tender Barolo here, which to my palate recalls the cru of Bussia to the northwest. It is a pleasant reminder that there are many sides to the kaleidoscopic Nebbiolo grape, even within one small subzone and one cellar—the differences lie hidden underground and only reveal themselves through wine!
