Mauro Veglio Gattera La Morra Barolo 2020

For co-owner Alessandro Veglio, 2020 is ‘a 2018 with more flesh’. Gattera’s limestone soils provide good structure. A quite stern nose of cherry kernel, rhubarb, fresh violet and blood orange is followed by a savoury and filigree palate, with a texture to the tannins of rare elegance. Full and broad on the finish, with hints of cherry kernel. Drinking window: 2024-2040. Score – 97. (Aldo Fiordelli, decanter.com, May 21, 2024)
