Mauro Veglio

The Veglio family's history in the wine world begins in the 1950s, when Angelo Veglio decided to invest in native grape varieties in La Morra. Over the years, the estate expanded by acquiring prestigious vineyards such as Arborina and Rocche dell’Annunziata. Mauro, who took over management at a very young age, led a significant modernization of the winery and winemaking techniques, focusing decisively on Barolo during a time when the Langhe region was undergoing a winemaking transformation, but making wine still meant facing great sacrifices and slim margins.

Mauro Veglio

In 2017, the merger with the company of nephew Alessandro Veglio brought new energy and vision, always maintaining a strong focus on quality and the identity of the wines, evident in every sip. The estate cultivates about 19 hectares of vineyards spread across La Morra, Monforte, Barolo, and Serralunga, on the picturesque hills of the Langhe.

Piedmont

In Piedmont, the first traces of viticulture date back to pre-Roman times (precisely to the Bronze Age, around 1500 B.C.), and although today the peak of quality is found in the region's great red wines, Piedmont also produces excellent white wines and sparkling wines.

The role of Piedmont has been fundamental for the development of modern Italian winemaking. It is here that the first examples of zoning of wine-growing areas were recorded, introducing concepts such as terroir and cru to Italian wines. Thanks to zoning, if a wine is produced exclusively from grapes coming from a single vineyard or parcel, the geographical indication appears on the label, increasing its prestige.

In addition to the geographical delineations indicated on the map, Piedmont is divided into 8 zones that group the 16 DOCG and 42 regional DOCs. Among these, we remember in the north the famous Gattinara DOCG and Ghemme DOCG, near Turin the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, in Monferrato the Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG, Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG, Dogliani DOCG, Ovada DOCG, Gavi DOCG, and Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG, ending with Roero DOCG to the left of the Tanaro river and, in the Langhe region, with the famous Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Dogliani DOCG.

In Piedmont, the revolution in the world of wine began, bringing Italy back to the forefront of high-quality production. Here, with few exceptions, single-varietal wines are produced, which best express the characteristics of the terroir and magnificently exalt the Piedmontese territory.

Langhe

Langhe, a unique territory for Italian wine production. The presence of valleys and hills at different altitudes, along with different exposures and winds, creates an incredible variety of microclimates. These conditions allow the grapes to express themselves in various ways. The Dogliani area has the coolest climate, being close to the Alps and characterized by narrow and high hill ridges facing the cold plains of Cuneo. The Barolo area has intermediate temperatures, being located in a particular area protected from winds but influenced both by Alpine currents and by warm and humid air rising from the Tanaro valley.

The three hill ridges that make up the area determine a diversity of landscapes and, consequently, microclimates. The Barbaresco area is more homogeneous, with milder temperatures and less abundant rainfall. The landscape characterized by narrow valleys generates greater windiness compared to the two previous areas.

The soils vary: calcareous-marly, clayey, sandy, and gravelly. The main grape varieties cultivated are Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis, Freisa, and Favorita, and then there are international varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Langhe, renowned Italian wine territory, boast a variety of unique microclimates and landscapes, from Dogliani to Barolo and Barbaresco, which influence the production of complex and distinctive wines thanks to the different soils and exposures.

Recommended pairings and dishes

Matching by concordance

We recommend opening it at least one hour before consumption.
Veglio’s Barolo should first and foremost be paired with equally refined, full-bodied, and aromatic dishes. It pairs by analogy with grilled or braised meats, beef stews, and aged blue cheeses. Its structure and aromatic intensity find a match in dishes featuring game birds, rich sauces with spices, and porcini mushrooms, while its softness harmonizes with dishes like polenta with wild boar ragù or flavorful risottos. In this way, wine and food complement each other, enhancing elegance and persistence.

Matching by contrast

This Barolo pairs well thanks to its firm yet smooth tannins that balance the succulence of roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Its balanced acidity contrasts savory and rich dishes like those with truffles or mushrooms, cleansing the palate. The full body and warming alcohol require intense and aromatic pairings to avoid being overwhelmed, while the long aromatic persistence enhances complex dishes, creating an elegant and lasting experience.

It pairs well with

Roasted or stewed red meats, game, aged cheeses, first courses with truffles or mushrooms, intense, rich, and aromatic vegetarian dishes.

"Agnolotti del plin" with roast meat sauce

Stuffed pasta that never fails to appear on Piedmontese tables during Christmas or on special occasions. A little parcel of dough that holds intense flavor, skilled technique, and refined opulence. The word plin, meaning "pinch" in the local dialect, refers to the gesture of pinching the pasta with your fingers to seal the filling between one raviolo and the next.

Lamb with Truffle

Lamb with truffle is a simple yet flavorful main course, intensely aromatic and with a long-lasting taste. A truly satisfying dish.
