MAURO VEGLIO BAROLO CASTELLETTO 2019 - red

Style : Bold & PowerfulMauro and Daniela Veglio are a formidable team; he on the winemaking side of things and Daniela in pretty much everything else. The Cantina shares a cul de sac with Elio Altare where both perch overlooking the Arborina vineyard. Over the years Mauro has out-grown the apprentice moniker (to Altare) and is in full control of his vineyards (which are always in impeccable order) and the style of Barolo he prefers to make “modern”. A great La Morra address making superbly consistent and expressive Barolo. MICHAEL MCNAMARA PWS22 days on the skins and aged for two years in French barriques of which 25% were new."Lustrous and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Sweet raspberry with savoury, salty, minerally notes and a little rich on the nose. With aeration there are hints of mint. Succulent, yet fresh, fruit layered with lots of clayey tannins. Closes up on the finish, demonstrating that it needs much more time." WALTER SPELLERVeglio's 2019 Barolo Castelletto is redolent of spice, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender. Incisive Monforte tannins and bright acids give the Castelletto its shape and a good bit of overall drive as well. I would cellar this for a few years and see what happens.
