MAURO VEGLIO BAROLO CASTELLETTO 2017

Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto 2017 750ml
Bold & Powerful
Mauro and Daniela Veglio are a formidable team; he on the winemaking side of things and Daniela in pretty much everything else. 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. The finished wines are an exercise in 'good modern', retaining transparent vineyard characteristics and energetic fruit profiles. This is A great La Morra address making superbly consistent and expressive wines. The 2017 Barolo Castelletto is fabulous. It is also the wine in this range that feels the least marked by heat. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and lavender all grace this beautifully translucent, expressive Barolo. There is some tannin that needs to soften - this is Monforte after all - but all the elements are impeccably balanced.
