2023 Mauro Molino - Langhe Nebbiolo (750ml)
The 2023 Mauro Molino Langhe Nebbiolo delivers the signature red fruit and floral intensity of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo grape in a format designed for immediate enjoyment, bypassing the extended cellar wait typical of more structured regional reds. Grown in the Langhe hills, this youthful vintage balances brisk acidity with supple, finely grained tannins. The nose opens with bright pitted cherry, crushed rose petals, and a cool stony undertone that builds into a medium-bodied palate. Tart cherry and red cranberry flavors move smoothly across the tongue, framed by dried thyme and wild herbs, before resolving into a clean, minerality-driven finish that keeps each sip engaged.
Food Pairings & Serving
This bottling’s structural balance makes it highly adaptable for everyday meals. It complements earthy preparations like risotto ai funghi or braised mushrooms, while cutting cleanly through the fat of roast chicken, sliced turkey, or herb-seasoned pork loin. Pair with firm, aged wheels such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Piave to match the wine’s dry tannins without masking its fruit. Pour at 60–65°F (16–18°C) to preserve its aromatic precision. Run it through a decanter for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to soften the tannic grip and amplify the botanical complexity.
