Red dry
Mauro Molino Gallinotto Barolo DOCG 2021 is a great choice for wine lovers who appreciate elegance, complexity and long aging potential.
Mauro Molino Gallinotto Barolo DOCG 2021 is an exceptional Barolo wine that reflects the traditions of the southern Piedmont region and the highest winemaking craftsmanship. It is a wine made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious Gallinotto vineyard, which is famous for its top-quality grape harvests. The grapes grow in calcareous clay soils, which results in delicate but intense flavor characteristics of the wine.
The wine has an exceptional complex aroma, in which red berries are felt: cherries, raspberries, blackberries, along with deeper floral and spicy aromas. The wine is balanced, elegant and complex: rich tannins and fresh acidity are felt, which gives the wine vitality and a longer, spicy aftertaste.
The winemaking process was carried out following traditional methods: maceration for 10 days and fermentation for 20 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
Serve at a temperature of 16-18 °C with game, rich meat dishes with mushroom sauce and hard cheeses such as Manchego, Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino al Tartufo.
The cranberry, orange and floral character is so compelling, with a medium body and ultra-fine tannins that are integrated and vivid. Crisp acidity backs it up. Needs time to soften, but a gorgeous young red. Drink after 2028.
This is a proprietary vineyard name, and in most years, the fruit hails from Berri in La Morra. The Mauro Molino 2021 Barolo Gallinotto has a little more fruit definition and a little less mineral definition compared to the estate's village bottling. The wine ferments in stainless steel and continues to barrique for malolactic fermentation, then it ends up in both small and larger oak vessels for aging. I found earthy notes of tree bark and iris root at the core of this pretty wine, but it settles to reveal pressed flowers and forest berry. This is a release of 10,000 bottles.
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.
