Monforte d'Alba is located in the southern Barolo region, where the soils are heavier, richer in clay and iron. Those who grow Nebbiolo here produce a different wine than those to the north and east – more structured, darker, with a density that needs time. Chiara Boschis bought a plot of land in the MGA Mosconi in 2009 – the most recent acquisition in the estate's portfolio, and the one with the most intense voice in it. 1.9 hectares at 370 to 400 metres, south-facing. The soils are Helvetian in character – calcareous clay marl layers with a characteristic grey to slightly pinkish-warm hue, depending on where calcium carbonate and iron shift the composition. In some places, these layers tend towards reddish, iron-tinged and interspersed with pebbles. It is a soil that gives substance to the Nebbiolo, demands long maturation and produces vinous vigour of a kind that is not found in lighter soils. Chiara Boschis was the first Oenologist to receive organic certification in Barolo. Today she works together with her brother Giorgio – and the Mosconi bears the signature of both.

2022 was a year of exceptional concentration in Monforte. Warm summer months, good water reserves from the winter, controlled autumn ripening. Mosconi 2022 shows what this site can achieve in a great vintage. Deep garnet red colour with a dark core. Wild cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spices on the nose – dark, complex, multi-layered. On the palate, majestically structured, carried by firm and velvety tannins, dry and multi-layered, with a long, balsamic, mineral final. A Barolo for the next 20 years – today the anticipation, tomorrow the fulfilment. SUPERIORE.DE
