Mauro Veglio - Barolo 2018

Add to Wish List

93 Points - Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Barolo is a blend of fruit from Arborina and Gattera in La Morra and Castelletto in Monforte d'Alba, which are three of the estate's coolest growing sites. You get the smooth or silky disposition of fruit from La Morra blended with the power and precision of Monforte d'Alba. This wine shows nicely in this vintage thanks to dark fruit, tar, smoke and crushed rock. There is a fragrant hint of violets too."

Mauro Veglio Description

"In 2016, Mauro invited his nephew Alessandro—who owned and rented several hectares, producing wine under his eponymous label—to visit. After 10 minutes ‘speaking of the winds and clouds’, Alessandro recounts that his uncle suggested they merge their estates and begin working together. Alessandro enthusiastically obliged. Since their inaugural vintage in 2017, the pair have worked together harmoniously. Though of different generations, the two are complementary, together they hoped to achieve higher appeal with the critics, collectors and new markets. As well as changes in the winery and more fastidious agronomy, the pair now vinify a further Barolo, adding Paiagallo—Langhe fans will associate this site with Giovanni Canonica— to their six-strong Barolo range." - Word on the Grapevine

Aromas of red berry, underbrush and oak-driven spice waft out of the glass. Elegant and already accessible, the savory palate features sour cherry, orange zest, star anise and mocha alongside chalky, drying tannins.
