From the site of Conca, a small amphitheater where the Molinos own one-third of the vineyard, the 2019 Barolo Conca offers up pure aromas of red cherry, fresh balsamic herbs, and sweet flowers. The most concentrated of the wines in the range, it is still medium-bodied but has more richness throughout, as well as a more solar feel, with ripe wild raspberry, tea, and sweet tannins, though more grip. It leans toward the muscular side while retaining amazing purity and freshness throughout. If Luciani is the Burgundian equivalent of Chambolle Volnay, then Conca is the Gevrey-Chambertin.

Year by year, Molino's Conca acquires more consistency. Very pale in the glass, it shows a polished nose of pomegranate, peach and earthy strawberry, Early Morning pipe tobacco and straw. The frame is composed of amazing tannins, still sticky on the gums but balanced by great fruit concentration and almost-zesty acidity. The finish is lively and features a pure kernel note, with plenty of sweetness completing the picture.
