MAURO VEGLIO BAROLO RISERVA ROCCHE DELL'ANNUNZIATA 2017

Style: Savoury & Detailed

The Veglio style emphasizes texture and soft fruit, which makes the wines excellent early and medium-term drinkers. ANTONIO GALLONI

Mauro and Daniela Veglio are a formidable team. The Cantina shares a cul de sac with Elio Altare where both perch overlooking the Arborina vineyard. Over the years Mauro has out-grown the apprentice moniker (to Altare) and is in full control of his vineyards (which are always in impeccable order) and the style of Barolo he prefers to make ¿ ¿modern¿.

The finished wines are an exercise in ¿good modern¿, retaining transparent vineyard characteristics and energetic fruit profiles. The oak is undoubtedly a feature in greater or lesser degrees depending on vintage and vineyard but it plays a supporting role rather than overwhelming. This is an evolutionary thing as well with slight tweaks having been made over the years without sacrificing Veglio¿s strong belief in the efficacy of his style.

A great La Morra address making superbly consistent and expressive Barolo. MICHAEL MCNAMARA
