Molino

The Molino brothers’ winery enjoys a privileged position and marvellous views. Located some 350 metres above sea level on the on the Ausario ridge in the municipality of Treiso, it faces west towards Alba and the Tanaro plain; to the east the view is of the tidy vineyards of Nebbiolo.

Founded in 1991 by Virginio Molino, the winery is currently run by his sons Tommaso, Franco and Dario and, more recently, his grandson Marco, who takes care of the agricultural work. The Ausario vineyards at the heart of their production have been used for centuries to make a Barbaresco with a distinctive character.

Rigorously family-run, the Molino estate stands out for its green philosophy: the approach is geared to permaculture, in which herbicides have been replaced by mulching. The style is artisan yet deeply creative: the brilliantly, minimal new labels have received important awards and are a treat for the eye as well as the palate.
