Note di degustazione
The Gattera Vineyard in La Morra farmed by Mauro Veglio is home to beautiful southeast-facing 70-year-old vines. The 2018 Barolo Gattera (with 9,000 bottles produced) is bright, linear and nicely balanced. The wine is lithe and delicate in spirit, yet it also shows impressive momentum with long-lasting perfumes of forest berry, wildflower and crushed stone. This is a very pretty Barolo.

The 2018 Barolo Gattera marries the natural exuberance of this site with a feeling of translucence I have not seen here previously. This is the first vintage that blends Mauro Veglio's south-facing parcel with Alessandro Veglio's south-east facing piece, a combination that works so well. Dark cherry, plum, spice, lavender and licorice infuse the 2018 with layers of nuance. The 2018 is beautifully done. Moreover, the 2018 bodes very well for the future.
La Morra. Much hotter site than Arborina. 'We have two plots, one plain south, which ends mostly in the classico, the one facing south-west goes into the cru.' Both plots were planted at the beginning of the 1950s. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Full firm nose of ripe cherry fruit with just a touch of savoury oak. Lots of ripe sour-cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate. The ripe grainy tannic charge is perfectly aligned with the generous fruit. Very long and fruit-driven but still in its infancy. The tannins are like tiny pebbles on a gravel road cutting through the fruit. (WS)
