Ratings:Vinous 91 points

Vinous: "The wine offers up crushed flowers, mint, spice and incense. Aromatic and nuanced, the 2022 has a lot to offer. This is a bit light, as all the wines are, and yet the Castelletto impresses with its balance, poise and sneaky energy."

Mauro Veglio is a family-run estate based in La Morra, in the heart of the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. The winery has been producing its own wines since 1992 and is now managed by Mauro's nephew, Alessandro Veglio. The estate cultivates approximately 19 hectares of vines  and produces five single-vineyard Barolo crus.

Mauro was strongly influenced in his early days by his neighbor and modernist pioneer, Elio Altare. Under Alessandro's leadership, however, the style has shifted toward lighter extraction and aging in larger oak barrels, resulting in wines with a fresher, brighter, and purer fruit profile.

The grapes undergo maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 20–25 days, starting with a cold soak at 10 °C for the first 48 hours. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by 24 months of ageing in small oak barrels (30% new).

From Barolo Cru “Castelletto” vineyard, located in Monforte d'Alba municipality. 28 and 50 years old vines. Composed of calcareous clay and marl, belonging to the older Lequio gelogical formation.

Intense, smooth aromas of red fruits, rose petals, underbrush, mint, and licorice are beautifully harmonious. The palate is vigorous and full‑bodied, with balanced structure, persistent yet never‑dry tannins, juicy fruit, and a long finish of blackberry and blueberry jam.
