Notes | |||
"Ruby red of medium intensity and garnet red hues. Intense, harmonic, with ethereal and captivating nuances and a final note of red fruit. Warm, balanced, with good persistence; already drinking well. Finishes with polished tannins and a delicate vanilla aftertaste." —winemaker Wine Anthology Team Review-A wonderfully priced wine for being a true Barolo. Delicious berry and nutty flavors envelope together in a fantastically approachable red that delivers right through the smooth finish. Drinking really well now but certainly will improve with some more time in the bottle. A best buy! |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This is really delicious now with strawberry, chocolate, hazelnut and walnut undertones. Some floral notes, too. Medium to full body with round tannins and a delicious finish. Drinkable now, but another year or two in bottle will make it even better. And it can age. Try from 2023." —James Suckling "This wine represents a blend of fruit from Arborina and Gattera in La Morra and Castelletto in Monforte d'Alba. The Mauro Veglio 2017 Barolo opens to a light garnet-ruby color with a glossy shine and a classic aromatic profile of wild berry, tar, licorice and crushed blue flowers. The 2017 vintage is a bit thinner in the mid-palate, but this expression demonstrates good tannic management." —Wine Advocate "Subtle aromas of French oak, ripe dark-skinned fruit and cedar form the nose. Linear and firmly structured, the palate offers dried cherry, tangy orange zest and ground clove alongside close-grained, mouth-drying tannins that grip the close. Give the tannins a couple of years to unwind, then drink sooner rather than later to enjoy the fruit richness." —Wine Enthusiast |
