Tasting Note: This classy entry-level Barolo is the lightest of the bunch, offering delicate aromas and a keen balance of bright red cherry, light spice, sweet pipe tobacco, and polished texture. With well-integrated, chalky tannins, it’s an approachable yet serious wine that will delight Pinot Noir drinkers. Enjoy its vibrant flavors now, but be sure to let it breathe to unlock all the subtle nuances.

Aging Potential: Drinkable now but even better with a few years in the cellar.  Best from 2026–2036.

Why It Stands Out: From a young, dynamic team deeply rooted in tradition, this Barolo is ready to rock your world with its lovely aromatics, keen balance, and approachable profile.

About the Producer:  Mauro Molino, a family-run estate based in the heart of La Morra, first started producing Barolo in the 1982 vintage. Today, the estate is managed by a young and dynamic team, staying rooted in tradition while embracing innovation. This Barolo is crafted from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the renowned Berri, Annunziata, and Perno vineyards. Aged for 24 months in large neutral casks, this wine is a testament to Molino’s dedication to sustainable viticulture and producing wines that reflect the essence of their terroir.

Critic Notes:

• "The Mauro Molino 2020 Barolo exhibits a lean and silky character with aromas that build in intensity with time. They include underripe cherry, apricot and evenly dispensed oak that is not intrusive. Dried leaves and licorice give the wine an autumnal vibe, and the tannins remain slightly sweet and powdery." - 93 Points, Wine Advocate
• "Spiced and racy Barolo with ripe red berries, spices, sandalwood and hints of white pepper. Medium-bodied with a dusty texture to its tannins and vivid acidity. Textural and polished, with citrus peel character at the end. Already attractive to drink, but better after two to three years." - 92 Points, James Suckling
