Based in La Morra, Mauro Molino builds this Barolo from three vineyards: estate parcels in Berri and Annunziata, plus purchased fruit from Perno in Monforte d'Alba, added to give the blend more heft. The 2021 is medium red in the glass, with a fresh nose of sage, thyme and other wild herbs over strawberry, red currant, cherry and rose, and a surprising flicker of apricot. The palate is lively and medium-bodied, a citrus tang and stony bite keeping it lean, while the tannins are fine and still slightly firm. Cherry and cedar mark the finish. It is charming now and better after another year or two in bottle, and critics give it a long runway beyond that. Pair it with tajarin with butter and truffle, porcini risotto or roast rabbit.

Critic Reviews
Wine Advocate
95 Points
95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: “This wine shows a combination of lively fruit and elegance that only Nebbiolo can deliver. The Mauro Molino 2021 Barolo offers a terrific and well-priced interpretation of the vintage with redcurrant, blue flower and crushed stone over a fine mouthfeel with tension and energy. This wine jumps the gap into a higher, more exciting level of Barolo intensity. Fruit comes from Annunziata, Berri and Perno on limestone soils. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and moves into large oak casks. The wine offers a pretty, naked portrait of the grape. This simplest wine is one of my favorites….” 01/25

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: “The citrus, crushed stone and red fruit come through on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm and linear tannins and a vivid finish. Cherry and cedar at the end. Fresh finish. This needs time to soften the fine, firm tannins, but it’s lovely already. Drinkable now…” 08/24

94 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The medium red 2021 Barolo is the calling card of the Mauro Molino estate and comes from the three vineyards of Annuziata, Berri, and Perno. The nose is quite complete with aromas of fresh wild herbs, cherries, roses, raspberries, and fresh apricots. It’s very finessed and has a fantastic noble structure while also bringing a crunchy mineral texture and mouthwatering feel. This lovely wine will age with ease over the coming 20 or more years." 05/25
