"The cranberry, orange and floral character is so compelling, with a medium body and ultra-fine tannins that are integrated and vivid. Crisp acidity backs it up. Needs time to soften, but a gorgeous young red. Drink after 2028."

"The 2021 Barolo Gallinotto is a very pretty wine from this high-elevation site in La Morra. Kirsch, orange peel, spice, mint and sweet red cherry fruit are all woven together in a lithe, silky Barolo that captures all the elegance of La Morra."

"This is a proprietary vineyard name, and in most years, the fruit hails from Berri in La Morra. The Mauro Molino 2021 Barolo Gallinotto has a little more fruit definition and a little less mineral definition compared to the estate's village bottling. The wine ferments in stainless steel and continues to barrique for malolactic fermentation, then it ends up in both small and larger oak vessels for aging. I found earthy notes of tree bark and iris root at the core of this pretty wine, but it settles to reveal pressed flowers and forest berry. This is a release of 10,000 bottles."
