The quality at this estate has exploded in the past few years and, having previously flown under the radar, the wines are attracting lots of attention and scores to boot. The style here embraces the florality and elegance of La Morra but there is more texture and weight than other estates in the commune. For fans of La Morra looking for more oomph.
Aromas recalling ripe forest berry, eucalyptus and dark culinary spice mingle with a whiff of botanical herb on the fantastic 2021 Castelletto from Mauro Veglio. Elegantly structured and linear, the palate has nervous tension that underscores red cherry, cranberry, licorice and ground clove. Taut, refined tannins provide support. Still youthfully austere, give it time to fully unwind and develop. Drink 2031–2041.
