One of the many excellent estates that flies under the radar, Mauro Molino’s son, Matteo, crafts wines that are immediately pleasurable but very capable of graceful maturation. The style here is one that leans towards red fruit and aromatics, along with a vibrancy and energy that could almost be described (in a somewhat clichéd manner) as Burgundian.
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. Production is 45,000 bottles. 2025-2040.
