Mauro Veglio - Barolo Vigneto Gattera 2017

"In 2016, Mauro invited his nephew Alessandro—who owned and rented several hectares, producing wine under his eponymous label—to visit. After 10 minutes ‘speaking of the winds and clouds’, Alessandro recounts that his uncle suggested they merge their estates and begin working together. Alessandro enthusiastically obliged. Since their inaugural vintage in 2017, the pair have worked together harmoniously. Though of different generations, the two are complementary, together they hoped to achieve higher appeal with the critics, collectors and new markets. As well as changes in the winery and more fastidious agronomy, the pair now vinify a further Barolo, adding Paiagallo—Langhe fans will associate this site with Giovanni Canonica— to their six-strong Barolo range." - Word on the Grapevine

A firm, fine-tannined Barolo, yet very structured and intense with ripe-strawberry, cedar and lemon-peel character. Medium to full body. Tar and walnut to the bright fruit. Tight finish. Give this time to open.

Menthol, iris and French oak aromas come to the forefront. On the palate, notes of vanilla and coffee bean accent a core of dried black cherry while firm, close-grained tannins provide tight support. Drink 2025–2032.
