The 2009 Moscadello di Montalcino (made from late-harvest fruit) opens to a very pretty golden color with amber highlights. It presents awkward aromas of white licorice and medicinal herb that give it a very Old World, almost rustic appeal. In the mouth, this wine lacks vibrancy. Drink: 2014-2015. Importer: Michael Skurnik Wines, www.skurnikwines.com

Mocali’s golden Moscadello represents a category of wine that was popular before the hearty red Brunello took the Montalcino spotlight. Sweet and syrupy with a lively golden color, pair this dessert wine with creme caramel or brulee.——M.L.(12/31/2011)—— 88

This expression of Moscadello di Montalcino opens with a dark, golden color and intense aromas of candied fruit, orange zest, roasted almond and dried apricot. The wine is thick and smooth with a strong element of sweetness balanced by a touch of crisp acidity. ——M.L.(12/31/2010)—— 86
