In 1973 Mauro graduated from enology school in Alba, and then followed that with five years of winemaking experience in Emilia Romagna. In 1979 after his father’s passing, he returned home to the family farm in La Morra and began consulting for local wineries while building up his own estate. 1982 was the first vintage from the famed family parcel in Conca dell’Annunziata, the conch-shaped parcel pictured above, and the rest is history. In 2003 Matteo joined the company, and then in 2009, Matteo’s sister also joined the gang. Today they manage approximately 12 hectares of vineyards, 50% dedicated to Nebbiolo for Barolo, and the rest mostly Barbera, and Dolcetto. This estate practices organic viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from 100% Nebbiolo vines planted in 1985 and 1990, this delicious Barolo is made in a traditional style with 24 months in oak. Italy's best source for wine reviews, the \u003cstrong\u003eGambero Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e, raves about this producer: \"The Molinos again showed why they are among the top Langhe producers. Credit goes in particular to Mauro and his son, Matteo, who is partly responsible for the estate's enormous critical success. For the basic Barolo, the estate ages the wine in large Slavonian oak barrels, which is a classic practice in the region, and the wine is known for its delicate nose of violets and roasted fruits, and concentrated, harmonious palate…\"    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-end\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"publication mb-0 me-1\"\u003eWine Advocate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"item-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"item-review\" title=\"Wine Advocate 95 point rating.\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"abbr text-uppercase\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e95\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"blockquote review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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. Production is 45,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfooter class=\"blockquote-footer text-end\"\u003eMonica Larner, January 30, 2025\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex align-items-end\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"publication mb-0 me-1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"item-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"item-review\" title=\"James Suckling 93 point rating.\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"abbr text-uppercase\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e93\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"blockquote review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe citrus, crushed stone and red fruit come through on the nose.
