Molino Barbaresco Teorema 2020

In a world where many Langhe Nebbiolos are creeping past the $60 price point, why not go straight to the source – another spin on the Nebbiolo grape, and the classic queen of Piemonte – Barbaresco! With their 2020 Teorema, winemaker Dario Molino has made a wine that hits all of the benchmarks in one of the most beloved wine regions in the world. Fantastic concentration and remarkable depth, coupled with ethereal aromatics that showcase intoxicating rose petal, lavender, and kirsch. It’s all underpinned by classy linear structure and washed with wave after wave of fresh cherry, crushed raspberry, mandarin orange, toasted spices, licorice drops, black tea, clove, even a touch of rosemary. This is drinking fantastically right now, and will age really well if you feel like hiding a couple of bottles in the back of your collection.

Agricola Molino is an exceptional family winery making some of the best values to come out of Piemonte. They’ve been crafting simply stunning Barbarescos for over 30 years, and brothers Dario, Tommaso, Franco, and Marco Molino have really dialed in that perfect balance of intensity, elegance, terroir, and flat-out deliciousness. We love Molino. Snagging bottles at 35% off is a nice little triumph... which you should mark by thoroughly enjoying a glass or two. Try it with tuna tartare and avocado (the locals like Barbaresco with fatty fish) or comforting polenta and slow-cooked meat.  

The Teorema has it all: a super price, great score, and precise production by one of our favorite Italian wine families. This is one of the best values you’ll see for succulent, top-notch Barbaresco. Don’t forget to order 4 or more to unlock free shipping, too!

PAIRING IDEAS: As mentioned above, tuna tartare with avocado is a delightful pairing with this perfectly spiced Italian red.
