Mauro Veglio – Barolo Paiagallo – 2018

Description

The origins of the Mauro Veglio winery date back to the early 1900s, thanks to the dream of Angelo, Mauro’s father, to bring up the name ” nebbiolo da Barolo” in the world. As a humble farmer from La Morra, in the 1960s he finally managed to invest and buy the first vineyards such as Gattera, Arborina and Rocche dell’Annunziata, among others the best ever for position and exposure. The radical change in the winery came precisely with Mauro’s entry in the late 1980s, where the focus was on producing wines with new techniques, trying to extract more color and tannin and incorporating the use of small barrels precisely to produce wines that were more ready to drink and less dark and rustic. The first real vintage under Mauro Veglio’s name occurred in 1992. With the entry of his grandson Alessandro, the winery sees a continuity of family management, aiming more and more to make niche and quality wines. The winery now manages 19 hectares, remaining attentive to vineyard work by eliminating pesticides and chemicals altogether. Wines of character, with great technique, but above all to be kept in the cellar to fully savor the characteristics of each individual parcel.
