About the Producer

The Veglio family has been farming in La Morra since the early 1900s, but the modern chapter of the winery began when Mauro took over from his father Angelo and shifted focus from bulk production to estate-bottled Barolo.

 

In 2016, Mauro invited his nephew Alessandro to merge their two separate estates, and since their first joint vintage in 2017, the two have worked to balance Mauro's modernist foundations with a more traditionalist approach to viticulture. 

 

In the cellar, native yeast fermentation is used across the range, and the winery has made a concerted effort to minimize inputs in the vineyard, with results they can taste directly in the fruit quality. 

 

The Barolo DOCG combines grapes from four crus across three municipalities, a blend that the family describes as expressing the representative balance of the whole appellation. What we particularly love about this wine is how delicate and floral it is, sitting right alongside that dark, mineral edge. That paradox is what makes it special.

Why I Chose this Wine

When I met Mauro and Alessandro, one of the first things Alessandro said was that freshness is at the center of all of their wines. 

 

Barolo can go heavy and extracted pretty easily, and a lot of producers let it. Veglio doesn't. 

 

It's structured and age-worthy, but it drinks like it wants to be opened, not stored. 

 

That's exactly what Alessandro meant, and it's exactly why I'm so happy it's in the bottle shop.
