Mauro Molino Leradici Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2022

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:

• La Morra – elegance and aromatic finesse
• Monforte d’Alba – structure and depth of tannins
• Serralunga d’Alba – mineral tension and longevity

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.

• Barolo from ‘Nebbiolo’ – elegant, with firm yet polished tannins; notes of red berries, roses, dried herbs, and minerality.
• Barbera d’Alba – vibrant wines with bright acidity and expressive fruit.
• Dolcetto d’Alba – more approachable, everyday wines with clear structure and a clean profile.

Oak is used with restraint, supporting texture without overshadowing the voice of the terroir.

Winemaking principles

• Hand harvesting
• Low yields and strict grape selection
• Controlled fermentation
• Aging in French oak barrels, tailored to each individual wine

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.
