Description:
An intense bouquet with hints of ripe fruit and rose petals. Persistent in taste, thanks to its fine and enveloping tannins that give an elegant pleasantness to this wine.
Winery:
Mauro Molino, Matteo and Martina’s father, founded the estate. In 1973 Mauro graduated from the enology school in Alba, and then followed that with five years of winemaking experience in Emilia Romagna. In 1978 after his father’s 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 of Conca, the conch-shaped. In 2003 Matteo joined the company as winemaker and then in 2008, Martina also joined the company building the export. Today they managed 14 hectares, 50% dedicated to Nebbiolo for Barolo, and the rest mostly Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Roero Arneis. This estate practices sustainable viticulture.

Maceration in contact with the grape skins for a duration of 12 days, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel tanks, aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Further aged in bottle for 6 months.
