wine description
Barolo Mosconi comes from grapes harvested from a group of vineyards covering an area of about 3 hectares. The vineyards of the Mosconi farmhouse are part of the large vineyards that make up the wine estate of the Bussia Soprana farm. As you descend from the road that leads from the church of San Giuseppe to the Mosconi farmhouse, there is a magnificent amphitheater of vineyards capable of producing grapes of the highest quality, Nebbiolo from Barolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. The vineyards of the Mosconi farmhouse are part of the large vineyards that make up the wine estate of the Bussia Soprana farm. The soil is composed of light gray calcareous Miocene marl, it is a frank and strongly alkaline soil. The altitude is 400 meters, the exposures are to the south, and the vineyards are very steep. The average age of the vineyards is about 60 years with a very narrow sixth that makes any mechanical processing difficult. The oldest vineyard is 75 years old, is made of Nebbiolo and is considered by us to be a wine heritage for the clone that gives the wine its color and acidity. The average production is 50/60 quintals per hectare. Aging: 30 quintals barrel for about 24 months.
