Mauro Molino Barbera d'Alba 2021

Mauro Molino Barbera d’Alba 2021 is a wonderfully vibrant, fresh, and fruit-driven red wine that beautifully showcases the classic, approachable style of Piedmont's beloved Barbera grape. Sourced from calcareous-clay soils in the vineyards surrounding La Morra and Barolo, this unoaked expression ferments entirely in stainless steel to preserve its pure fruit identity. It opens with a highly expressive, perfumed nose of juicy wild red berries, sour cherries, and ripe raspberries, seamlessly integrated with delicate hints of sweet baking spices, fresh lavender, and a subtle touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and remarkably soft, delivering mouthwatering acidity that balances a plump core of black cherry and plum flavors, finishing with clean herbal undertones and lasting freshness.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with classic pasta al ragù, wood-fired pepperoni pizza, roasted herb chicken, grilled sausages, or rich mushroom risotto.

Inky purple in color with vibrant aromas of wild red berries and sour cherries coated in sweet baking spices. The palate is tart and bright with a wonderful balance between the ripe red fruit and the savory herbal flavors. A well-structured wine.

90 Points - James Suckling

A lovely mix of rooibos tea and crushed red berries on the nose. Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Fresh and fruity at the beginning, but turns more savory towards the finish. Drink now.
