Note di degustazione
La Morra. Healthy mid ruby. Minerally, slumbering raspberry, more introvert than the Gattera. A mere suggestion of cinnamon bark. Lush raspberry fruit with sensuous oak and rich, chewy tannins that are perfectly aligned with the fruit. Lots of tactile fireworks here, but it would be a shame to drink this now. (WS)

The Mauro Veglio 2021 Barolo Arborina stands apart for its special bouquet that features a hint of chamomile tea or wild nettle layered in with the dark fruit and earthy aromas of this important vineyard. The Veglio family has three hectares in this MGA site, but fruit for this wine comes from one hectare with vines 35 years old and older. Grapes that are not used for this wine go to the Barolo. There is a distinctly botanical quality to this wine that is quite beautiful and ties in with cola, licorice and iron ore. The wine ages in barrique for 24 months, with 25% new oak. Production is 6,500 bottles.
Pouring a bright ruby red hue, the 2021 Barolo Arborina is detailed and spicy, with an expressive bouquet of clove, blood orange, cranberries, and anise. The palate is compact, with a medium frame, vibrant tension, and a long, sustained finish. Give this one another year or two and drink it over the following 15 years.
The 2021 Barolo Arborina is a gorgeous, deep wine endowed with serious textural depth and intensity. Dark red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol, licorice and rose petal fill out the layers. There's gorgeous palate presence and tons of class here. The tannins, often a challenge in this site, are refined and very nicely balanced.
