Craig Bellamy blazed over for the Blues before setting up Carlos Tevez to hook in off Christophe Berra's deflection.
Chris Iwelumo and Kevin Doyle went close for Wolves but Javier Garrido curled in a controversial free-kick after a Bellamy offside was not given.
Tevez smashed in a low second at the end after a pass by substitute Robinho.
As well as closing in on the top four spots after a first win on their travels since their defeat of Portsmouth on 30 August, City's new boss Mancini will be delighted with a second successive clean sheet.
Both clubs were playing their second game in three days and both managers made a number of changes for this battle in the fog at Molineux.
While Mancini brought in Bellamy for the rested Robinho, Mick McCarthy left four on the Wolves bench from the team that lost to Liverpool and beefed up his midfield with Michael Mancienne in the centre.
It was the hosts who dominated at the start, using Iwelumo - making his first Premier League start - as a target man for a string of long punts, and the towering striker almost set up the opener by nodding down to Andrew Surman who blasted over.
