Tasting notes and Reviews
"From the comune of La Morra, the Mauro Veglio 2016 Barolo Gattera shows a broad, loosely knit texture. The wine opens faster and more completely once poured into the glass. The fruit is dark, and there's a wide range of aromas with dried cherry and plum, all backed by thick brush strokes of tobacco and spice. Gattera shows more heft and textural richness. In this classic vintage, I prefer the more-delicate Arborina, but both wines are excellent. The estate farms 3.5 hectares in Gattera, but fruit for this wine comes from 70-year-old vines found in a 1.5-hectare sub parcel. It ages in barrique for two years (with 30% new oak and 70% neutral wood). Some 9,000 bottles were made." 94/100, Monica Larner, Robertparker.com Jul 2020
"The 2016 Barolo Gattera shows the volume and richness this La Morra vineyard is capable of, but with a good kick of freshness as well. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather, licorice and menthol all run through this super-expressive, vibrant Barolo from Mauro and Alessandro Veglio." 92/100, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2020
