Welcome to episode 2136 of the Italian Wine Podcast, and episode 162 of Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon. Marc’s guest today is Martina Molino of Mauro Molino winery in Piemonte, a family-owned winery founded in 1982.  The winery’s Barolo DOCG Conca 2020 was awarded the Best Red Wine 2024  at https://www.5starwines.it.  More about today’s guest:   Mauro Molino is a family-owned winery founded by Mauro in 1982. After inheriting the family vineyards from their grandfather, their father Mauro immediately decided to produce his own wines. Led by his passion for agronomy and love for the Langa area, he started to look for the best vineyards in La Morra, where he bought many plots in the 1990s. In the early 2000s (2003 and 2008) the second generation of the Molino family – Matteo and Martina – joined the company. Both graduated at the Enological School of Alba, and they brought dynamism, enthusiasm and innovation to the company but never forgetting the winery’s tradition. They now lead the winery with passion, always trying to communicate in the best way possible their philosophy, their love for the territory and its sustainable projects. They currently own 20 hectares and produce 160,000 bottles per year. Martina Molino, the youngest daughter is now fully in charge of the commercial and marketing aspect, promoting the wines all around the world.  Connect: Website: https://www.mauromolino.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mauromolinowinery/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mauro-molino-winery/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mauromolinowinery More about the host Marc Millon: Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.
