Agricola Molino is located in Treiso, near San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, an area of great Barbaresco, just 7 km from Alba.
The company’s history began in the 1950s, when Virginio Molino, originally from San Damiano d’Asti, moved to Turin to market fruit and vegetables even though his passion led him to make wine in a facility near the big city.
In the 1980s he moved with his 3 sons to Elvio Pertinace where he began production of the classic Piedmont wines of the Langhe and then bought in 1991 with his 3 sons Tommaso, Franco, and Dario, a winemaking room and a small plot of land in Treiso.
Today the proudly family-run winery has grown considerably in production, the type of wines produced and the services offered, opening up to hospitality.
This is also happening thanks to the involvement of the younger generation-Marco, Francesca and Alessandro Molino.
Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay grow on calcareous and marly subsoils, Arneis rises on sandy sedimentary rock with shell limestone, and Barbera and Moscato grow on the marly and sandy soils of the Asti region.
The Wines
The winery is renowned for the production of its two types of Barbaresco
The wines are those of tradition, but made in a modern way, where the use of wood is balanced and does not overpower the flavor of the product.
Cement and steel tanks are also used in the winery.
In recent years, the use of terracotta to produce amphora wines is also being experimented with.
Currently, Agricola Molino is the only winery to make a Barbaresco with the Ausario geographical mention: the nebbiolo grapes come only from the Treiso locality, from this special vineyard planted in 1958.
This exclusive Barbaresco has firm tannins but already has spicy and balsamic hints in its youth.

Agricultural Method
With the exception of Chardonnay, only indigenous Piedmontese grape varieties are cultivated.
The Nebbiolo grapes come from two different production areas: part of the grapes come from Treiso and the rest from San Rocco seno d’Elvio. This union creates a modern and very elegant Barbaresco.
After graduating with a degree in political science, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps in 2013 and returned to the company to take on the role of foreign salesman
