Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto 2021
DOZEN: $1,728.00 or $144.00 each
Aromas recalling ripe forest berry, eucalyptus and dark culinary spice mingle with a whiff of botanical herb on the fantastic 2021 Castelletto from Mauro Veglio. Elegantly structured and linear, the palate has nervous tension that underscores red cherry, cranberry, licorice and ground clove. Taut, refined tannins provide support. Still youthfully austere, give it time to fully unwind and develop. (96) KERIN O'KEEFE
The 2021 Barolo Castelletto is one of the most potent of these wines. It exudes tons of textural depth and overall intensity. Dark cherry, red plum, blood orange, spice and rose petal saturate the palate. All the 2021 needs is a bit of time to shed some of its baby fat. Today the aromatics are especially alluring. Brisk acids and beams of supporting tannin round out a super-classic expression of Monforte's Castelletto district. ANTONIO GALLONI
With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the Mauro Veglio 2021 Barolo Castelletto (with 6,500 bottles created) reveals power and important richness that is noticed in the wine's darker appearance. Blackcurrant and cherry are framed by licorice, tar and rusty nail. The Castelletto performs very nicely in 2021, showing balance, precision and power. You notice the oak as the wine opens in the glass. MONICA LARNER
