Mauro Molino Gallinotto Barolo 2020

"The 2020 Barolo Gallinotto is fully loaded with ripe fruit without going too far. There is a core of red fruits framed by pie crust and delicate baking spices. The wine picks up speed in terms of mouthfeel, with energy and intense berry flavors, while maintaining harmony. The tannins are integrated and accessible. The wine is generally balanced from all points of view. It ages in both barrique and larger wood barrels. Production is 8,000 bottles." - 94 pts., Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Barolo Gallinotto, from vines in Berri, makes a strong first impression. A burst of dark, macerated cherry, spice, crushed leaves, new leather, tobacco, orange peel and mint races out of the glass. More than anything else, the Gallinotto impresses with its translucent energy, depth and beguiling complexity. Aging is 60% cask and 40% used French oak barrique. This is beautifully done." 94 pts., Vinous
