WINE DESCRIPTION

Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto is a premium red wine produced by Mauro Veglio, a renowned winemaker from the Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Castelletto vineyard, which is known for its unique soil composition and favorable microclimate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with aromas of red fruit, spices, and floral notes. The wine is characterized by its full-bodied structure, firm tannins, and long finish, making it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Barolo from Mauro Veglio is an elegant and complex expression of the Nebbiolo grape.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe cherry, dark plum, and earthy notes of leather, tobacco, and truffle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well balanced, with silky tannins and a bright acidity that carries flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and spice. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of dried fruit and a touch of minerality.
