Mauro Molino : Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

The richness and freshness of a Langhe wine

The estate

Mauro Molino decided to found his estate in the early 1980s in La Morra, an emblematic village in Piedmont. Dedicated to the cultivation of his vineyard and always striving for excellence, Mauro Molino has succeeded in bringing to life fine Barolo and Barbera d'Alba Superiore wines that have contributed to his worldwide reputation. Mauro Molino's Italian wines are true vintages, made from meticulously spit "single vineyards", which reflect all the characteristics of their terroir of origin.

The 12 hectares of his estate, located in the heart of the Langhe region of Italy, are planted with Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes. The sublime Le Radici vineyard stretches from the foot of the Burio Castle in the municipality of Costigliole, one of the areas that is particularly suited to the production of Barbera d'Asti. The soil is influenced by clay and limestone.

The vineyard

An essential reference among Piedmont wines, this 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo by Mauro Molino is made from vines which are 25 years old on average and enjoy a south-east/south-west facing vineyard that rests on calcareous and sandy soils.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes undergo a 6-day maceration. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats, then aged in large French oak barrels for 6 months.

The blend
