| THE HISTORY OF MOLINO WINE CELLAR |
Located in the centre of the territory of Wine Barolo, Franco Molino is an ancient winery, whose origin date back to the forty, when great grand father, during one of his business trips, discovered the hills of the Langhe: he was so enthusiastic that decided to move here. With the whole family he settled in the small village of La Morra were he bought the farmhouse CASCINA ROCCA, and several vineyard plots.
Now the Winery Franco Molino manage about 10 hectares of vineyards, located all in the Barolo production area. The vineyard are: Bricco Zuncai and Vigna Sarmassa (Barolo), Rocche dell’Annunziata and Bricco Rocca (La Morra), Villero (Castiglione Falletto).
|
| THE VINEYARDS |
| The wines of Molino Franco derive exclusively from grapes coming from its vineyards, located in the most prestigious areas of the territory of Barolo: "Bricco Zuncai" and "Sarmassa" in the town of Barolo, "Rocche dell' Annunziata" and "Bricco Rocca" in La Morra, "Villero" in Castiglione Falletto. The structure and nature of the terrain, their position, exposure to sun and a favorable microclimate, are basic requirements for achieving great wines. The various vineyards are followed with care and attention, advanced technologies are used for cultivating the vine and a high respect for tradition. On the 10 hectares vineyards are cultivated only autochthon varieties of vine: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and Favorita. |
