2018 | Azienda Agricola Veglio Mauro | Barolo

A ruby red of medium intensity and garnet red hues. On the nose, intense, harmonic, with ethereal and captivating nuances and a final note of red fruit. On the palate, warm, balanced, with good persistence; already drinking well. Finishes with polished tannins and a delicate vanilla aftertaste.

Reviews:

• 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.

• Wine Enthusiast: 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.

Producer Information

Azienda Agricola Veglio Mauro is an Italian wine estate with vineyards spanning La Morra and Monforte d’Alba in Piedmont. The estate is particularly known for its Barolo wines created from four "cru" vineyards, but it also makes a range of Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba and Dolcetto d’Alba wines. Angelo Veglio founded the estate in the 1960s on the purchase of a single hectare (3 acre) of vineyard in Gattera. Two decades later and this hectarage was expanded with the purchase of 5ha (12 acres) of vineyards in Annunziata. Mauro and Daniela Veglio took over the reins of Azienda Agricola Veglio Mauro in the latter part of the 1980s, acquiring further vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, Castiglione-Falleto, in 1996. Today, Azienda Agricola Veglio Mauro cultivates a total of 14ha (35 acres) of vineyards planted to Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. The most important of these vineyards are the estate's prized crus – Arborina, Gattera, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Castelletto – that form the basis of its four single-vineyard Barolo wines. These vineyard plots are typically planted on south-facing slopes at elevations between 820 and 984 feet (250 and 300 meters). Azienda Agricola Veglio Mauro vinifies its portfolio of Barolo wines in stainless steel tanks for approximately 20 days, before barrel-aging for a further two years in 20 percent new oak. All wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
