100% Nebbiolo from the ‘La Serra’ vineyard, planted in calcareous clay soils. The grapes are macerated on the skins for nine days in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel over 20 days; malolactic occurs in French oak barriques. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, followed by four months in bottle.

"As these wines from Mauro Molino move up the ladder to more intense and structured fruit, they also tend to show more oak, which works well if you intend to cellar your bottles for a longer time but doesn't work as well if you are interested in consuming them sooner. That is the paradox of a vintage as beautiful as 2021, which performs so nicely even with minimal oak use. The 2021 Barolo La Serra draws its fruit from a site in La Morra that always tends to offer underlying tension and firmness. It shows terrific vertical intensity in this case, backed by extra ripeness, spice and textural richness. Only 2,700 bottles were created."

"The 2021 Barolo La Serra is another terrific wine in this range from Molino. Dark cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, incense and sage bring out the darker side of Nebbiolo, while time in the glass fills out the layers effortlessly. Beams of supporting tannin support the finish."
