Tasting notes
Mauro Molino, from La Morra, has turned out an attractive, evolved, open-knit, medium-bodied 1995 Barolo Vigna Gancia with fine ripeness, and a spice box/cherry-dominated personality. Although not a blockbuster, it is elegant, soft, and ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years. This is a Marc de Grazia Selection, with various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.

Medium red. Subdued, slightly autumnal aromas of cherry, chocolate, menthol and underbrush. Flavors of syrupy red fruit and mint suggest a wine of moderate ripeness. Slightly disjointed acidity makes the wine tannins appear a bit dry.
