2020 Barolo, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Veglio’s Barolo Classico was blended from 50% La Morra fruit, sourced from Arborina and Gattera, and 50% from Monforte (Castelletto) and Serralunga (Mancino). The wine spent 15 days on skins, but Alessandro does not do a cold maceration before fermentation, although he does with all his crus. This was aged in barriques, as usual, but with just a little less new oak (12%). There is a lovely succulence and brightness of expression, with no sense of the wood at all. It’s pure pleasure.

Drink 2025 – 2038

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 91/100
The 2020 Barolo is redolent of sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried cherry and incense. The blend of sites (50% La Morra and 50% Serralunga/Monforte) works so well here. Medium in body and gracious, with lovely understated presence, the straight Barolo is a fine introduction to this range.Drink 2024 - 2032antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)

James Suckling 92/100
Crisp and fruity developing notes of crushed strawberries, red currants, stones, peppercorns and dried flowers on the nose. Medium body with firm tannins and sharp acidity at this stage. Racy and vivid with plenty of energy at the crunchy and slightly tart finish.Drink after 2027james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2024)

About this wine

Barolo

Barolo

Piedmont's most famous wine DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Barolo is renowned for producing Italy's finest reds from 100 percent Nebbiolo. The Barolo appellation was formalised in 1966 at around 1,700 hectares, and has an exceptional terroir with almost every village perched on its own hill. The climate is continental, with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness.
