ABOUT THIS WINE
Mauro Veglio Barolo Paiagallo 2019 is a single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from Piedmont, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Paiagallo Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva (MGA). The vineyard, situated on the eastern side of the Barolo commune, features marly sandy soils and a southeast-easterly exposure. The vines, planted in the mid-1980s, are managed using organic and sustainable farming practices. The Mauro Veglio estate is a family-run winery with a long history, now managed by Mauro and his grandson Alessandro, focusing on producing high-quality, niche wines. The 2019 vintage is noted for its structure and aromatic intensity, a result of a long vegetative cycle.

Malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel. The wine then ages for 24 months in a large 30-hectoliter oak barrel.

The producer employs organic and sustainable farming practices, including the avoidance of pesticides and chemicals.
