Joe Canal’s has long been a "must-visit" location for winemakers and other industry VIPs. The latest visitor to meet and greet the customers in Lawrenceville was Martina Molino, the charming young winemaker from Mauro Molino.The Mauro Molino winery is located in northwestern Italy’s Piedmont region. Joe Canal’s carries Molino’s Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo, and Barolo, all of which were available for tasting with Martina. The 2010 Barbera D’Alba (available exclusively at Joe Canal’s in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge) is a fresh, fruit-driven wine that is aged in stainless steel tanks. This red wine is light enough for summer sipping, or pairing with casual food. The Langhe Nebbiolo is a richer wine, spending time aging first in stainless, then in oak. The traditional 2007 Barolo is young, but enjoyable, and capable of aging for 20 more years.
Martina spent two hours at the Lawrenceville store, signing bottles and talking about her wines. The occasional summer thunderstorm didn’t dampen anyone’s appreciation of the wines, which showed amazingly well. And although she’s only been studying English for about eight years, her stories of the wines and vineyard life captivated every store visitor.
With the Barbera priced at only $12.96 (BottleClub), the Mauro Molino wines are as affordable as they are enjoyable. Please remember to visit the Events page on jcanals.com to get the latest updates on special guests and activities in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge.
