The Path
Training at Oenological Alba Wine School gave Matteo Molino a formal base in wine language: structure, discipline, and the habits of close observation that anchor cellar work and vineyard thinking. In Alba, that education set the terms for a career concerned less with display than with the patient mechanics of making wine speak clearly from place. The task is practical first: tending the house in La Morra, Piedmont, Italy, while keeping the wines aligned with the identity of the land they come from.
The Work Today
The work centers on enhancing the identity of each individual terroir. That principle keeps the focus on difference rather than uniformity. Matteo Molino’s approach treats terroir as something to be preserved and clarified, not smoothed over, with each site allowed its own contour and voice. It is a method built on restraint and attention, where the point is to read what a place offers and shape it without losing its character.
Signature
Matteo Molino's signature dishes include Barolo Conca, Barbera d'Asti DOCG Leradici®, and Barolo Riserva. The range of those names shows how the Mauro Molino identity is carried across different expressions without losing its core discipline. Barolo Conca points to place; Barbera d'Asti DOCG Leradici® brings a different register within the portfolio; Barolo Riserva signals the patience and structure associated with a longer, more measured style. Together they describe a producer working through specificity rather than repetition.
In Their Words “Our wines are our life. They tell of the places we live, of what we like to do, of the choices we make every day in our vineyards and winery. Our wines represent our past, present and the future on which we have chosen to invest.” The line ties the wines to the work that makes them: vineyards, winery, and the daily choices that shape both. For Mauro Molino, the bottles are not detached objects but records of practice, holding past, present, and future inside the same estate logic.
