With fruit from one of the most beautiful spots in La Morra that enjoys wide panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards, this is another classic Nebbiolo from a great vintage. The Mauro Veglio 2019 Barolo Arborina opens to wild cherry, licorice and blue flower. The house style prizes just a tad more richness and concentration, although the quality of fruit remains beautifully polished throughout. Arborina ages in barrique for 24 months with 25% new oak and 75% neutral wood. Production is 6,500 bottles.
The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Piedmont
Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.
Appellation
Barolo
Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

Lovely perfume to this with orange blossom, cherry, and strawberry aromas. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with firm and racy tannins and a long and refined finish. This shows polish, integration and length that is excellent for the vintage. Try after 2027.

The 2019 Barolo Arborina is super-classy and refined, adjectives that don't come to mind often in Arborina, where the tannins are often incisive.
Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berry fruit, orange zest, mint and chalk give the Arborina its bright, high-toned profile. This mid-weight, gracious
Barolo is all class.

Lifted with red fruits, the 2019 Barolo Arborina is perfumed with wild raspberry, roses, and sweet herbs. This svelte and medium-bodied red offers a silky mineral texture, with fine tannins and fresh acidity, revealing notes of fresh orange, peach, and sandy earth. I love where this is now, but it will be great drinking over the coming 10-15 years.
Winery Notes
Color: Intense ruby red with garnet hues.
