Veglio/Mauro Barolo 2017

92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): “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. Drink: 2023-2035. (Jun 2021)”

92 points Wine Enthusiast: “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. Drink 2023–2027. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2021)”

90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2017 Barolo is a delicious entry-level offering. All the elements just fall into place effortlessly. Sweet red cherry, cedar, dried flowers and spice give this lilting, open-knit Barolo lovely aromatic and flavor complexity. Drink: 2022-2032. (Feb 2021)”
