Mauro Molino Barolo — Piedmont 2021
Mauro Molino’s estate Barolo is the calling card of the domaine — and the 2021 vintage may be its finest expression yet. Sourced from three exceptional La Morra vineyards — Annunziata, Berri, and Perno — all planted on limestone soils, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in large oak casks to preserve the purity and transparency of the Nebbiolo grape. The Wine Advocate called it “one of my favorites” and awarded it 95 points. With 45,000 bottles produced, it is one of the most exciting values in all of Barolo.
The nose is complete and captivating: fresh wild herbs, cherries, roses, raspberries, fresh apricots, redcurrant, blue flowers, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a fine, tense mouthfeel, crunchy mineral texture, and vivid, linear tannins that frame a long, elegant finish of cherry and cedar. It delivers the lively fruit and elegance that only Nebbiolo can achieve — and will age with ease for 20 years or more.
