The estate

Founded in 1992, the estate Mauro Molino is located in La Morra, in the Piémont wine region. The vineyard is situated on a calcareous and sandy terroir, facing northeast, ideal for Chardonnay. Under the direction of Mauro Molino, the estate produces Italian wines renowned for their finesse and elegance.

The vineyard

The Langhe Chardonnay is a wine from Piémont from a thirty-year-old vineyard located in La Morra. The vines, averaging 30 years old, benefit from a northeast exposure that is particularly favorable for preserving the aromatic freshness of Chardonnay. The soil, predominantly calcareous and sandy, gives the wine its characteristic minerality and elegant structure, while promoting a fine and precise aromatic expression.

Winemaking and aging

Hand harvesting begins in early September. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging is partially carried out in French oak barrels for 8 months, in concrete eggs or ceramic amphorae, bringing additional complexity and aromatic nuances.
