Reviewed October 2022 This debut vintage of Mauro Veglio’s Barolo Comune di Serralunga impresses for its purity of fruit and structure. Precise and linear, the palate is elegant and firm, delivering juicy red cherry, star anise and blood orange alongside fine-grained tannins. Vibrant acidity lends verve, balance and energy.

The rose petal and ripe strawberry and orange blossom aromas come through nicely. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. It has finesse and focus. Very attractive now but better in two or three years.

Decanter
This Serralunga Barolo is released for the first time this year by Mauro Veglio. The Nebbiolo comes from 300-400 metres above sea level in the Manocino and Lirano MGAs on Lequio formation limestone. The wine is mostly floral, with an intoxicating aroma of violet, cinnamon and rich, meaty cherry fruit. The attack is fully and fiercely austere, with very classic firm, dusty tannins underlined by crisp acidity. The finish is grainy and not dry, so it deserves patience and attention. (AF)

Vinous
The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba is laced with hints of tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, menthol, sage and mint, all of which infuse the 2019 with tons of character. The Serralunga is a gorgeous Barolo, a wine full of intrigue that will enjoy a fine evolution in bottle for at least a decade or so. It is a very good first effort. My impression is that this will only get better in future vintages. Vineyard sources are: Lirano and Manocino. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2022
