Mauro Molino Barolo Gallinotto
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThe first of the single vineyard wines, the 2019 Barolo Gallinotto is lifted with mineral, fresh mint, and tarragon and has a floral imprint of wet stone, red cherry, and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied but takes on crunchy fresh acidity, with fine though present tannins, and has a cooling effect throughout. The palate reveals notes of anise, mint, and pomegranate.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 94 Points \r\nWine Spectator 93 Points\r\nAbout Mauro Molino\r\nOn a visit to Piedmont in 2004, Matteo Molino stood out amongst our group of Langaroli \u2013 and not just for his exceptional height! His wines were great and well-priced. He was quick to understand both the potential and challenges of our market. And he spoke English very well, with a great passion for Nebbiolo \u2013 not just his own. In the next decade, he and his younger sister Martina would take over the reigns at their father\u2019s estate, and guide it into the international spotlight by both making great wines and traveling to engage and charm international customers into Molino fans.\r\nMauro Molino, Matteo and Martina\u2019s father, founded the estate. In 1973 Mauro graduated from enology school in Alba, and then followed that with five years of winemaking experience in Emilia Romagna. In 1979 after his father\u2019s passing, he returned home to the family farm in La Morra and began consulting for local wineries while building up his own estate. 1982 was the first vintage from the famed family parcel in Conca dell\u2019Annunziata, the conch-shaped parcel pictured above, and the rest is history. In 2003 Matteo joined the company and became a familiar face to our staff, and then in 2009, Matteo\u2019s sister also joined the gang. Today they manage approximately 12 hectares of vineyards, 50% dedicated to Nebbiolo for Barolo, and the rest mostly Barbera, and Dolcetto. This estate practices sustainable viticulture. |
