The Mauro Veglio 2021 Gattera is another knock-out new release from this excellent estate. It opens with heady aromas of mature woodland berry, fragrant purple flower, exotic dark spice and a whiff of eucalyptus while the delicious, elegantly structured palate features ripe black cherry, raspberry compote, vanilla and licorice. Hailing from estate grapes in La Morra, it’s a great expression of the site and of the vintage.

James Suckling
This wine shows aromas of red berries, sage and tea with eucalyptus undertones. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with subtle red fruit framed by firm yet refined and polished tannins. The finish is bright and linear, with a pleasant chewiness. Very well crafted and enjoyable already, but better from 2027.

Vinous
The 2021 Barolo Gattera is fabulous. Rich and ample in the glass, the Gattera marries the natural richness of this southeast-facing site with the greater transparency that is common in the Veglio Barolos today. The 2021 possesses striking inner sweetness and perfume that blossoms in the mid-palate and expands to fill out all the layers. There's terrific breadth here.
Notes
Mauro Veglio’s Gattera Barolo 2021 is a rich and seductive expression of this La Morra cru, known for its elegance and approachability. The nose unfolds with ripe red cherry, plum, and dried rose, layered with hints of sweet spice, cedar, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is silky yet structured, offering juicy red fruit, refined tannins, and a lingering minerality, all balanced by vibrant acidity. A long, graceful finish lingers with notes of balsamic and tobacco.
