2019 Mauro Veglio Barolo del Commune di Serralunga d'Alba

(92 Points)   -------  (Decanter)

This Serralunga Barolo is released for the first time this year by Mauro Veglio. The Nebbiolo comes from 300-400 metres above sea level in the Manocino and Lirano MGAs on Lequio formation limestone. The wine is mostly floral, with an intoxicating aroma of violet, cinnamon and rich, meaty cherry fruit. The attack is fully and fiercely austere, with very classic firm, dusty tannins underlined by crisp acidity. The finish is grainy and not dry, so it deserves patience and attention.
