In the heart of Langhe, Mauro Molino’s La Morra vineyards are surrounded by a landscape of rolling hills, each plot benefiting from a sunny southeastern exposure and limestone-rich clay soils. The result: intensely aromatic and long-lived wines. The 2021 Mauro Molino Barolo showcases the unique terroir of the Annunziata, Berri, and Perno’s soils and was fermented in stainless steel and aged in large oak casks. This 2021 Barolo presents a lively and elegant Nebbiolo expression with red currant, floral, and mineral aromas and a medium-bodied palate that is marked by firm tannins and a fresh finish of cherry and cedar. This Barolo is a pure and exquisitely simple depiction of the Nebbiolo grape’s refined complexity. Enjoyable in its youth, the tannins will continue to soften for years of incredible drinking. If you choose to open tonight, pair this Barolo with a gnocchi Bolognese, roast duck, or a goat cheese agnolotti in a brown butter sauce.

Wine Advocate - 95 Pts: "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."
