Red dry
The finest wine from Mauro Molino, produced from a single vineyard, is often distinguished by its firm structure and exceptional complexity. Even in weaker vintages, the Conca vineyard—perfectly positioned and naturally sheltered—allows the winery to craft an outstanding wine. Fermentation lasted 20 days in stainless-steel tanks, with an additional 10-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation was completed, and the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
The bouquet reveals roses, dried cranberries, red licorice, cherries, dried plums, pine bark, and black tea. On the palate it is intense, complex, and long-lasting.
Recommended drinking window: from 2028.
Serve at 16–18 °C with game dishes, rich meat dishes with mushroom sauce, and hard cheeses such as Manchego, Parmigiano Reggiano, or Pecorino al Tartufo.
There’s a beautiful density and body to this, but it’s fresh, refined and bright. Medium-bodied with medium-round tannins and a savory finish with hints of cedar and violets. Crunchy. So drinkable now, but better from 2028.
History and family philosophy
The winery was founded in 1979 by Mauro Molino, who previously worked as an oenologist and agronomist. From the very beginning, his goal was clear: to craft wines that precisely express the Barolo terroir while preserving elegance and balance. Today, the estate is led by the second generation—Matteo and Martina Molino—who continue their father’s vision and steadily strengthen the winery’s reputation on the international market.
Vineyards and terroir
Azienda Agricola Mauro Molino farms approximately 12 hectares of vineyards located in some of the most prestigious areas of Barolo:
The soils are predominantly limestone and clay, combined with varied microclimates that allow the creation of clearly differentiated, cru-driven wine styles.
Wine style
Mauro Molino wines are defined by clarity, precision, and balance. This is Barolo that speaks not through sheer power, but through structural discipline and aromatic depth.
Oak is used with restraint, supporting texture without overshadowing the voice of the terroir.
Winemaking principles
The wines are crafted for longevity, yet many show an appealing approachability in their youth—an attribute especially valued by modern Barolo enthusiasts.
Reputation and place within Barolo
Azienda Agricola Mauro Molino is regarded as a reliable, terroir-focused Barolo producer, whose wines are frequently chosen for restaurant wine lists and collectors’ cellars. It is an estate that does not chase trends, but consistently expresses the essence of Barolo—wines made for time, place, and structure.
