The 2018 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped comes across as a bit light for this cru, where the wines are generally bigger and deeper. Even so, all the elements are so well balanced. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and crushed flowers lend wonderful aromatic nuance. The 2018 is unusually transparent, but that's not a bad thing at all, as Mosconi Barolos are typically brutes.HK$4,225.00 -

The 2018 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra is a dark, brooding wine. There is plenty of the balsamic character that is typical of Ginestra.
