Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto 2018

'We were born and raised in the hills that are home to Barolo, the wine we love and have dedicated our lives and passions to.' The history of the Mauro Veglia family is deeply linked to La Morra and to the rural roots of this part of the Langhe, which has succeeded in reinventing itself within the space of just a few decades, discovering an international vocation. Convinced that the work of winemakers must respond to a categorical imperative: the quest for quality, this family has chosen to leave the beaten track over the years and take paths that are often inaccessible, but where they see potential for growth. Striving every day to make wines that are in step with the times while resisting the temptation to follow trends, as befits the great classics, Mauro Veglio is an excellent source for high quality, delicious Barolo wines.  

Castelletto is an extensive area between Monforte d'Alba and the hamlet of Perno, bordering with Serralunga d'Alba. Of all the appellations of Monforte, it is that which expresses the greatest finesse and elegance. Here about four hectares of vineyard in a south-easterly position are cultivate, which Daniela brought to the Veglio family when she married Mauro.

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Intense and smooth aromas, with incredible harmony of red fruits and delicate rose petals. Very elegant, with subtle hints of underbrush, mint, and licorice. Vigorous, full-bodied, balanced. Great persistence in the tannins, but they are never too dry. Overall a juicy wine. Final notes of blackberry and blueberry jam.
