Vinous: "The wine is once again seriously impressive. Dark and ample on the palate, the 2021 captures all the brooding intensity of Serralunga in its dark fruit and imposing structure. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice are all dialed up to the maximum. What a gorgeous wine this is. The Serralunga Barolo is the hidden gem in this lineup."

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 2,500-litre barrels.

From Barolo vineyards located between Cru Manocino and Cru Lirano, in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. The vines are 50 years old. The soil is composed of calcareous clay and marl, belonging to the older Lequio geological formation. 

The wine offers fruity aromas of dark cherry, complemented by ferrous, balsamic, and spicy notes. On the palate, it reveals dark fruit and cherry flavours, supported by a lively, youthful tannic structure that suggests good potential for further evolution.
