Mauro Veglio - Barolo Gattera 2019 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
With fruit from 70-year-old vines in La Morra, the 2019 Barolo Gattera has aromas that recall cherry or plum, especially dried fruit, over a luminous appearance and medium-bodied mouthfeel. The wine is silky on the close with soft tannins; however, like the other wines in this portfolio, I find the fruit to be less expressive in terms of bouquet. Give this wine a few more years of cellar rest. 9,000 bottles were released.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2019 Barolo Gattera is a powerful, broad wine. Even in the new style favored by Veglio today, the Gattera shows its natural breath along with a decidedly dark expression of La Morra. Sweet black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice and mocha all meld together effortlessly. The Gattera offers lovely upfront appeal married to the classicism of the year. That's a pretty appealing combination in my book.
