Mauro Molino Barolo La Serra 2010

Mauro Molino and his kids, Matteo and Martina, are La Morra royalty. While some Barolos can feel like they’re shouting at you, Molino’s wines are about finesse and aromatic clarity. The La Serra vineyard sits high up in the commune of La Morra, where the limestone-heavy soils give the Nebbiolo a distinct sapidity—that mouthwatering, mineral grip we look for in serious Italian reds.

This bottling falls in line stylistically with Molino’s tradition–a delicate, lifted Nebbiolo with precision and nuance. Those who favor a more powerful, muscle-driven style should use caution here.
