Decanter 94
This Mosconi is aged in French oak barriques rather than the more typical botti grandi. The result for this top MGA in 2019 is a restrained wine highlighted by cinnamon and yellow stone fruit aromas, with violets, rose, and a balsamic depth. Large, muscular and tasty on the palate, it features super-lively acidity and firm, grainy tannins, youthful but polished and soaked with red fruits.

James Suckling 94
Bright, savory nose with excellent depth of aromas. Cured meat, dried oranges, cranberries and mineral verve. Medium to full body on the palate, but ethereal and refined with polished tannins and a long, complex finish. Drinking well now, but will hold nicely.
