Mauro Veglio Barolo DOCG 2021

This Barolo is the perfect expression of the concept of classicism. Made with grapes from four different cru vineyard sites located in three different townships, the classic 2021 Barolo from Mauro Veglio opens with aromas of red berry, hay, dark spice and a whiff of eucalyptus. Full-bodied, elegant and savory, the palate offers red cherry, cranberry, prunes, tobacco leaf and star anise accompanied by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. With a brooding intensity and serious structure, it has a refreshing honesty and classicism and well-knit acidty to drive the moderate finish. Already accessible, and should offer years of pleasure.

The Mauro Veglio Barolo is made from the grapes grown in the youngest and most vigorous vineyards in the townships of La Morra and Monforte d’Alba, and vinified as it was in the past for a balanced harmony of its diverse characteristics.

Maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 10-15 days, before the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation is concluded in stainless steel (about 20 days), where malolactic fermentation also takes place at a controlled temperature. Towards December, the wine is transferred to small barrels of oak, 15-20% of which are new and 80% used, where they remain to age for 24 months. After decanting in stainless steel, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
