2018 VEGLIO MAURO BAROLO PAIAGALLO
"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."
