Upfront and immediately vibrant in cherries and juicy fruits and a hint of citrus peel. The nose is really very charming, with roses, violets and fresh brewed black tea. So much to love about the palate, it's soft and juicy, yet fine and long. Not tannic at all, just lightly framed and lovely.

Imagine yourself sitting out on a balcony in the Italian sun, from the highest point overlooking the quilted tapestry of lush green vineyards of the Langhe, with hilltops dotted with castles, and a glass of fine red wine. You could be sitting at Mauro Molino, a small family owned estate in the La Morra region of Piedmont. The humble producer make very fine wines, including Barolo, that are all about tradition, elegance and understatement. They are not chasing wine awards here, instead, the wine they make is reflective of the highest quality vineyards they work with. The youngest generation run the estate - Matteo Molino and his younger sister Martina, have taken over the reins from their father, Mauro, who took over from his father in the early 1970s. Since then, the young sibling team have guided Molino into new international markets travelling to places like Australia, allowing people to discover their impeccable wines made as sustainably as possible.
