AZ. AGRICOLA VEGLIO MAURO, Fraz. Annunziata - Cascina nuova 50 12064 La Morra (CN) - Italia
It embodies the Piedmontese winemaking tradition to perfection. Mauro Veglio's Barolo DOCG combines the strength of Nebbiolo with the delicacy of careful and respectful elaboration. The grapes used to make this wine come from four different crus, scattered between the communes of La Morra, Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. This variety of terroir contributes to a complex and multifaceted wine, where mineral notes intertwine with fruity and spicy ones. The grapes, hand-picked and carefully selected, are vinified using traditional methods, beginning with maceration on the skins, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, enhancing the fruity and floral aromas of Nebbiolo. This is followed by ageing in oak barrels, partly new and partly used, which gives the wine complexity and roundness. Finally, the Barolo is bottled without filtration or clarification, preserving its natural vivacity. In the glass, it has an intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections. On the nose, it immediately reveals a broad and complex bouquet, with notes of violets, roses, blackberries, sweet spices and a slight hint of liquorice. In the mouth, it is warm, enveloping and persistent, with silky tannins and a long, pleasant finish. Good right from the start, this Barolo ages beautifully, developing tertiary notes of underbrush, leather and tobacco over time. On the table it accompanies important dishes such as braised meats, game and mature cheeses.
Mauro Veglio: the evolution of Barolo in the tradition of the Langhe. In the hills of La Morra, the historical Barolo area, lies the Mauro Veglio winery. It was Angelo, in the 1950s, who started the family business, betting on sustainable agriculture and viticulture focused on excellence. He was followed by Mauro, heir and innovator, who, starting in the 1980s, embarked on a path of renewal that helped change the very face of Barolo. With the help of his wife Daniela and, later, his nephew Alessandro, Mauro introduced modern techniques and a stylistic vision inspired by the great wines of Burgundy. Shorter macerations, French oak barriques used with balance and maniacal care in the vineyard and cellar have resulted in more elegant, fresh and accessible wines, without ever betraying the typicality of Nebbiolo. For more than 20 years, Mauro Veglio has also adopted organic practices, refusing the use of chemical herbicides and promoting natural techniques such as sexual confusion for pest control. Plants and flowers grow between the rows, enriching the soil and favouring the balance of the ecosystem, while anti-hail nets protect the grapes from the effects of climate change.
