Agricola Molino's flagship Barbaresco, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grown on the Ausario MGA (Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva) — a west-facing ridge at roughly 350 metres in Treiso planted in 1958, which the estate is the sole owner of. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in a mix of barrique and larger oak casks, it shows a fine, complex bouquet of ripe red fruit, blueberry and currant, with firm tannins, spicy and balsamic notes, and notable ageing potential.
The only Barbaresco in the world that can legally be called 'Ausario' — a single-vineyard statement of Treiso's elegance and structure.
New to wine?

Special dinners, cellar-worthy purchases, pairing with Piedmontese classics
