Molino Italian White
Piedmont whites from La Morra, poured in Commack since the start.
The story behind Molino
Molino means mill in Italian, and the name most often points to Mauro Molino, the La Morra estate Mauro founded in 1982 after returning to Piedmont as a trained agronomist and winemaker. The vineyards sit in the Langhe hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site of clay, limestone, and sand. Today his children, Matteo and Martina, run the estate.
The whites are made to stay fresh. Arneis is hand picked in early September, cold fermented entirely in stainless steel, then held on its fine lees for months, no oak. That is why the fruit reads so clean and the finish carries that bitter almond note Piedmont drinkers look for.

Molino covers the everyday end of Piedmont: a dry Arneis for oysters, a sweet Moscato for the table, and reds from Barbera to Barbaresco when you want to stay in the region.

Molino cocktails and pairings
Keep the Arneis cold, 46 to 50 degrees, and pour it with anything from the sea. The Moscato wants fruit and a lighter hand.
