Description
The Mauro Veglio Barolo Gattera is a distinguished red wine from the renowned Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. Made from Nebbiolo grapes, it offers an intricate flavor profile characterized by notes of red fruit, floral undertones, and hints of earthiness, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, making it a classic representation of Barolo's elegance.
This Barolo pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised meats, wild game, and aged cheeses. It is also a great companion to hearty pasta dishes and truffle-infused recipes, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Expert Reviews
A firm, fine-tannined Barolo, yet very structured and intense with ripe-strawberry, cedar and lemon-peel character. Medium to full body. Tar and walnut to the bright fruit. Tight finish. Give this time to open. Best after 2024.
This vintage from Mauro Veglio is a degree lighter in color and contrasts, and that less-saturated appearance is a common trait found across many of the wines from this warm and hot growing season. The Nebbiolo grape is particularly color sensitive, and the 2017 Barolo Gattera sees its fruit sourced from 70-year-old vines in La Morra, a site that is already earmarked for its delicate and nuanced approach. The bouquet is broad and not totally defined here, with some exotic fruit that is mixed with wild berry and peach blossom. I feel that the wine is short in the mid-palate, and that prompts me to suggest a shorter drinking window as a result. I am less convinced by this 9,000-bottle Gattera release than I am by the other wines in this flight from Mauro Veglio.
