99 points/'Top 100 Wines of 2024 (#43),' James Suckling: "Enchanting aromas of flowers like violets and lemon blossom, with raspberries and cranberries. Full-bodied yet focused and framed with a structure that builds on your palate and grows and grows, yet it remains fresh and vivid. The tannins are energetic and so, so long. A contemporary jewel. Fascinating. Thoughtful wine. Only the oldest vines are used in this from the 1940s and 1960s. (2/1/24)"
95+ points Luca Gardini: "The most recent cru in the Pio Cesare universe. A lot of freshness from the nose, hints of red mulberry, with notes of chinotto and peony and sensations of wild mint. Palate with iodine-brackish tannins, floral memories and small fruits, tension and persistence. (Apr 2024)"
95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The delicious 2020 Mosconi from Pio Cesare has a smooth, almost creamy texture that wraps around fleshy raspberry, crushed Morello cherry, blood orange, licorice and tobacco. It’s already drinking beautifully, thanks to the juicy fruit and velvety tannins. Drink through 2032. Abv: 14.5%. (Jan 2024)"
95 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$200 list] The Mosconi unfurls with a medley of ripe plum and cherry, underpinned by the soft perfume of blue violets and rosebuds, with sandalwood, wild herbs, and roasted shiitake adding depth. On the palate, red fruits shine through a refined and silky structure, flanked by a rich tapestry of savory spices and a hint of briny minerality. Drink now–2040. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2024)"
