Description

Fun, friendly Nebbiolo. Great core of fruit for the coin. Red fruits, laced with pretty flowers. A wonderful élévage (maturation pre-bottling) makes for a complex, harmonious, wine with soft tannins for a Nebbiolo. Fascinating comparison in style to the likes of Elio Grasso’s Langhe with it’s firm, structured tannin, rawer fruit of depth that needs a year or two to settle down. Grab a couple of each and drink the Molino now and sit on the Grasso for a bit.

About Mauro Molino

Mauro is one of those guys that worked hard to make his first vintage. 10 years after graduating from winemaking school, completing military service and then a 5 year stint traiing in Emilia Romagna, he returned to the Langhe. Working a day job for the local agricultural association whilst improving his family vineyards and cellars in Annunziata, La Morra. Finally in 1982 he makes his first Barolo from the Conca Cru in La Morra. Going on to produce Cru Baroli from Gancia and Gallinotto also in La Morra.

Molino now has 12 hectares of vines, 50% for Nebbiolo and Barolo. The rest is devoted to the production of Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and, in a smaller quantity, Roero Arneis.

The next generation of Molino’s, Matteo and Martina have now joined Mauro, both having worked the land as children.

The Styles

Mauro Molino’s styles are elegant, supple, restrained, with perfume and always a core of fruit. There élévage pulls them through adolescence making for wines that are a pleasure to devour young, and, as you go up the quality tree will age will for mid-term.
