"Lots of wild herbs, sage, red fruit and dried flowers. Very fragrant. Medium- to full-bodied, with integrated, focused tannins and an elegant, discreet fruit profile. Drink now with sufficient aeration."

"Based on fruit from Annunziata, Berri, and Perno, the 2022 Barolo pours a medium ruby hue and offers a classic, inviting profile. Aromatically, it reveals wild raspberries, strawberries, fresh herbs, and delicate spice. On the palate, it™s medium-bodied, bright, and refreshing, with good structure, ripe tannins, and balanced length. Aged 18-20 months in large, 50-hectoliter neutral French oak, there are roughly 39,000 bottles produced. Everything comes together with ease here. Drink 2026-2038."

"The Mauro Molino 2022 Barolo is a blend of fruit from the Annunziata, Berri and Perno MGAs in La Morra, spanning elevations from 250 to 400 meters. Aged in large 50-hectoliter French oak casks after fermentation in stainless steel, the wine shows a burst of warm cherry followed by concentrated black fruit. It very much reflects the profile of a hot, dry vintage, delivering the immediate appeal of generous fruit and richness, albeit with less nuance than cooler growing seasons. With time in the glass, however, the wine takes on a prettier dimension, opening with power before settling into greater varietal definition and composure."

"Palish ruby. A sweet, lifted, creamy spice note (from oak?) with hints of rosemary over shy raspberry fruit. Juicy raspberry and cherry fruit, with powdery tannins building a unity. Long, fragrant and fully ready now. Walter Speller"

"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."

"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. This lovely wine will age with ease over the coming 20 or more years."

"The 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. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two."

"Based in La Morra, Mauro Molino™s ~ambassador™ Barolo is assembled around estate vineyards in Berri and Annunziata, with purchased fruit coming from Perno which " being in Monforte d™Alba " is added to give a bit more heft. A fresh and engaging nose exhibits balsamic notes of sage and thyme against a strawberry and red currant backdrop. It has nice breeziness and easy flow without being superficial. There is citrussy tension and a mouthwatering crunch, while light and powdery tannins are decidedly La Morra-esque."
