Tasting notes

"This is a terrific new wine from Mauro Veglio. Fruit is drawn from a small parcel in Paiagallo, in the comune of Barolo, that measures less than one hectare and is situated at 300 meters above sea level. The vines are 35 years old on average. The 2016 Barolo Paiagallo is a beautiful wine, slightly open and accessible with a soft and gentle quality of fruit. It delivers delicate tones of wild berries, dark plum and pressed violets. This interpretation is very pretty, and the wine explores the very fine and nuanced side of the Nebbiolo grape. There is a light brushing of crushed white pepper and mineral on the close. Some 4,000 bottles were made." 95/100, Monica Larner, Robertparker.com Jul 2020

"The 2016 Barolo Paiagallo is a wine of real beauty. Vivid and translucent, with terrific energy, the 2016 is a real standout. In the glass, the 2016 is potent yet refined, with exceptional balance and so much promise. I can't wait to see how it ages, especially once the tannins have started to soften a bit. Time in the glass brings out the wine's dark, virile feel, as well as quite a bit of power. The 2016, made by Alessandro Veglio before he joined his uncle, Mauro, was done with a lighter touch and aged in cask, so it stands out stylistically in the range." 94/100, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2020

The producer

Mauro Veglio La Morra, Langhe, Italy

To understand Mauro Veglio, return to the early 1900s in the hamlet of Ciotto near La Morra, where the Veglio family worked the land for generations. Angelo Veglio, born in 1928, dreamed of leaving the sharecropper's life to make wine under his own name from native Langhe grapes — above all Nebbiolo, in which he saw rare potential.

Of Angelo's three sons, only Mauro followed him. In 1986, aged 25, Mauro took over the winery; the cellars were restored, the vineyards renewed, and the first modern experiments begun. 1992 marked the first harvest vinified in the new winery beside the Cascina Nuova farmhouse.
