Tasting notes and Reviews
2018 Vintage
"The Mauro Veglio 2018 Barolo Paiagallo shows a point of brightness that gives this wine an especially etched or linear performance. Fruit comes from 40-year-old vines and skin maceration times are slightly longer (lasting from 22 to 25 days), giving the wine more power. It wraps smoothly and completely over the palate, imparting sweet fruit, wild rose, blood orange and grilled herb along the way. Aged in large oak casks, the Paiagallo is tight and structured at this young stage, and the wine will loosen up and soften with more time in the bottle. Production is 4,000 bottles." 95/100, Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Aug'2022
"This 2018 is the third vintage of Mauro Veglio's Paiagallo. Here, Alessandro Veglio today manages a plot of 40-year-old vines in the middle of the hill, between 240 and 270 metres above sea level with a southeast to east exposure over sandstone soil (more so than the lower plots). The wine packs a punch for its multifaceted aromas of peony and violet, wild strawberry and blood orange. Both violets and oranges come back on the palate, not ungainly woven with firm tannins. It's full on the mid-palate, with almost-zesty acidity and a sweet, ripe finish. The wine is aged in large French untoasted oak casks for 24 months. A great example of the 2018 vintage." 95/100, Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter, Jan'2021
"Floral aromas recalling red rose mingle with menthol, woodland berry and dark spice. Firm and elegantly structured, the bright, savory palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, orange zest and licorice alongside tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. It's young and nervous, with vibrant acidity. Drink 2026–2038." 94/100, Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Sep'2022
2017 Vintage
"Mauro Veglio's property in Paiagallo is at mid-altitude in what is called Vigna San Sebastiano, bordering Terlo, to which it is closer in style than the opposite side of the MGA. Garnet in colour, it has notes of watermelon, earthy strawberry and lemon leaf. Elegance and freshness prevail over the powerful palate. Nevertheless, it is full bodied, well extracted and with sweet tannins. Citrus notes and liquorice emerge on the finish. This style, with fermentation in rotomacerator and ageing in French oak barrique, tamed the austere 2017 vintage quite well." 94/100 Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter, Mar'2021
"Blue flower, underbrush, camphor and hazelnut aromas come to the forefront. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the palate offers ripe raspberry, Morello cherry, tobacco and a hint of coffee bean alongside firm, close-grained tannins. Drink after 2027." 95/100, Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast
"A 4,000-bottle release, the Mauro Veglio 2017 Barolo Paiagallo offers a fleeting moment of ripeness, with summer cherry and raspberry that you taste for a brief moment before it fades away and then disappears completely. The wine is abridged, abrupt and extra contoured in terms of mouthfeel, with sharp edges and firm tannic structure that both need a little extra time to soften and flesh out. There is less fruit weight on the finish, but the wine marches forward, thanks to that hot-vintage tannic power." 92/100, Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Jun'2021
2016 Vintage
"This is a terrific new wine from Mauro Veglio. Fruit is drawn from a small parcel in Paiagallo, in the comune of Barolo, that measures less than one hectare and is situated at 300 meters above sea level. The vines are 35 years old on average. The 2016 Barolo Paiagallo is a beautiful wine, slightly open and accessible with a soft and gentle quality of fruit. It delivers delicate tones of wild berries, dark plum and pressed violets. This interpretation is very pretty, and the wine explores the very fine and nuanced side of the Nebbiolo grape. There is a light brushing of crushed white pepper and mineral on the close. Some 4,000 bottles were made." 95/100, Monica Larner, Robertparker.com Jul 2020
"The 2016 Barolo Paiagallo is a wine of real beauty. Vivid and translucent, with terrific energy, the 2016 is a real standout. In the glass, the 2016 is potent yet refined, with exceptional balance and so much promise. I can't wait to see how it ages, especially once the tannins have started to soften a bit. Time in the glass brings out the wine's dark, virile feel, as well as quite a bit of power. The 2016, made by Alessandro Veglio before he joined his uncle, Mauro, was done with a lighter touch and aged in cask, so it stands out stylistically in the range." 94/100, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2020
