Alcohol: 13.0 %
Grape(s): 100 % Barbera
Location: Alba, Langhe, Piedmont, Italy
Tasting Notes: Bright ruby red. Aromas of red cherry, plum and violet with hints of baking spice and fresh herbs. The palate is lively and juicy, with vibrant acidity, soft tannins, sour cherry and raspberry flavors, and a touch of black pepper, finishing fresh and persistent.
Notes: Mauro Veglio Barbera d'Alba is made from Barbera vines in and around Alba, emphasizing fruit purity and drinkability. Gentle extraction, stainless-steel fermentation and moderate oak (when used) preserve freshness while adding structure.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with tomato-based pasta, pizza, roasted pork, grilled sausages, and medium-aged cheeses.
Winery Story: Azienda Mauro Veglio (if referring to the Veglio family producers of the Langhe) or similarly named small Piedmontese wineries focus on traditional viticulture and accessible, terroir-driven Barberas that showcase the region’s vibrant fruit and bright acidity.
