2020 Pio Cesare Barbera d'Alba Fides Vigna Mosconi

94 POINTS

James Suckling

A linear and fresh barbera with dark fruit, bark, walnuts and orange peel. It’s medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins. Focused and fine. Sophisticated. Tangy finish. Very long. Drink now.

Falstaff

Intense ruby red. Rich and intense aromas with notes of ripe red fruit, black spices, undergrowth, cocoa and coffee. Full-bodied, concentrated and harmonious in taste, balanced synthesis of softness and freshness.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Fides Vigna Mosconi is gorgeous. Dark, fleshy and super-expressive, the 2020 is packed with plum, blackberry, mocha, lavender, spice and chocolate. Although quite racy and extroverted, the 2020 retains terrific freshness and fine overall balance. It is a joyous Barbera to drink now and over the next handful of years.

Monica Larner - Wine Advocate

The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Mosconi Fides delivers big ripeness and fruit weight with inky dark intensity, mature blackberry and syrupy blackberry or cherry essence. This hot vintage comes close to going overboard in terms of ripeness, but it is ultimately reined in by the grape’s fresh acidity.
