2019 Barolo, Castelletto, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

According to Alessandro, this vineyard has the highest limestone proportion in Barolo, adding a Serralunga-style structure to Monforte’s strength. This is mitigated a little by the vineyard’s altitude, which sits at 400m. The estate has 4 hectares here, but only 1 hectare from selected parcels is used for this wine. The wine is elegant, with floral notes and plenty of fruit. It appears initially lush for the vintage, but the grainy and sandy tannins of the vintage and vineyard are reasserted on the finish. There is plenty to consider here.

Critics reviews

Walter Speller 17++/20

Lustrous and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Sweet raspberry with savoury, salty, minerally notes and a little rich on the nose. With aeration there are hints of mint. Succulent, yet fresh, fruit layered with lots of clayey tannins. Closes up on the finish, demonstrating that it needs much more time.

Veglio's 2019 Barolo Castelletto is redolent of spice, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender. Incisive Monforte tannins and bright acids give the Castelletto its shape and a good bit of overall drive as well. I would cellar this for a few years and see what happens.

This lovely Barolo has aromas of small red fruit, liquorice and hazelnut. Reflecting the nose, the linear, full-bodied palate features juicy raspberry, crushed strawberry, star anise and toasted hazelnut alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. It still needs time to unwind.
