2010 Mauro Veglio "Arborina" Barolo 6-Pack (Pre-Arrival)

SKU #1431846 93 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Good bright, dark red. Knockout pure, vibrant nose of dark fruits, espresso and flowers accented by pungent minerality. Youthful and stylish, with harmonious ripe acidity energizing the middle palate. This wine depends as much on its ripe, juicy acidity as on its suave, fine-grained tannins for shape and structure. In a rather Burgundian style, finishing very fresh but not reduced. Inner quote mark (11/2013)

93 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Deeply colored and spicy, this features vanilla and resin accents to the black cherry and plum core. The tannins are assertive, but this gains richness and harmony with air. Tightly woven, with fine length. Best from 2017 through 2030. Inner quote mark (5/2015)

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2010 Barolo Arborina shows a more evident oak presence especially at this young stage in the wine’s evolutionary course. Sweet flower, dried cherry, moist tobacco, Spanish cedar and exotic spice come into full view with a few swirls of the glass. Its overall fabric is thick and chewy with layers of dark fruit and toasted nut woven deep within. Drink: 2017-2030. Inner quote mark (6/2014)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark A firm vein of tannin runs through the 2010 Barolo Arborina. Bright, fresh and nicely delineated, the 2010 is endowed with gorgeous energy and vibrancy. There is plenty of Veglio's trademark softness in the glass to match the spine of Arborina. Mint, rose petals and sweet red berries linger on the finish. This is a beautiful vintage for the Arborina. Inner quote mark (1/2014)

91 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark A Barolo with concrete, blackberry and cherry character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and refined finish. More elegant style of Arborina. Needs a year or two of bottle age: Drink in 2016. Inner quote mark (8/2014)

91 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Alluring aromas including crushed flower, underbrush, espresso and subtle oak carry over to the palate along with raw cherry, roasted coffee bean and dried sage. It's still austere, with astringent tannins that give a drying finish. Drink 2018–2030. Inner quote mark (10/2014)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Nebbiolo

- Tar and roses are the two descriptors most associated with this red grape grown, almost solely, in Italy's Piedmont, where it has achieved fame under the guises of the incredibly and age-worthy wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. Characterized by chewy tannins, high acidity, high-tone cherry and raspberry fruit and truffle aromas and flavors, Nebbiolo has rightfully earned its reputation. Sadly the late-ripening varietal is quite delicate and is prone to disease as well as damage by hail that frequently pelts the region. Outside of Barolo and Barbaresco, Nebbiolo is grown in the DOCs of Gattinara, Spanna and Ghemme. The Nebbiolos of the Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC in the southeastern part of Piedmont are generally lighter and more immediately approachable versions of the grape, aged for less time than Barolo and Barbaresco, which also makes them less expensive. Langhe Nebbiolos are generally made from declassified fruit from the aforementioned regions of Barolo, Barbaresco and Nebbiolo d'Alba.

Country:

Italy

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change toward quality. The 1980s showed incredible efforts and a lot of experimentation. The 1990s marked the real jump in consistent quality, including excellence in many Region that had been indistinct for ages. The entire Italian peninsula is seeing a winemaking revolution and is now one of the most exciting wine Region in the world.

Sub-Region:

Piedmont

- Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well.

Specific Appellation:

Barolo

- Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, these wines take their name from the village of Barolo. A maximum of 205,000 cases per year can be made from 3081 acres of land divided between 11 communes and more than 1200 growers. La Morra, Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, Monforte and Serralunga are the most important communes and produce most of the exported wine. Barolo is a powerhouse wine in some communes but also more delicate in others (La Morra is the most delicate and Serralunga the most powerful). Recent technological and viticultural advances are remaking Barolo into a wine that is more consistent balanced. Producers here do not want to change the flavor or feel of their wines, only improve and eliminate poor winemaking technique. A wine of great perfume, body and size the classic nose of "tar and roses". Barolo is best served with roast meats the Piemontese classic would be "Stracotto del Barolo or pot roast cooked with a Barolo, game birds or powerful cheese.
