Professional Ratings

• 95Robert Parker’s Wine AdvocateThis 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.

  The medium red 2021 Barolo is the calling card of the Mauro Molino estate and comes from the three vineyards of Annuziata, Berri, and Perno. The nose is quite complete with aromas of fresh wild herbs, cherries, roses, raspberries, and fresh apricots. It’s very finessed and has a fantastic noble structure while also bringing a crunchy mineral texture and mouthwatering feel.

• 93James SucklingThe citrus, crushed stone and red fruit come through on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm and linear tannins and a vivid finish. Cherry and cedar at the end. Fresh finish. This needs time to soften the fine, firm tannins, but it’s lovely already.

  Macerated cherry, raspberry, mineral and tar notes mingle in this tangy red. Marked by vivid acidity and elevated alco- hol, this ends with accents of blood orange and earth.
