Mauro Veglio
Our adventure in the world of wine began in the mid-20th century when the tenant and farmer Angelo Veglio decided to invest in native grape varieties by purchasing his first vineyard in Gattera, in the hamlet of Annunziata in La Morra. In doing so, he made many sacrifices and demonstrated great foresight.
In 1979, he took over part of Cascina Nuova and about five hectares of vineyards in some of the most renowned Crus, including Arborina and Rocche dell'Annunziata.
In the early days, the operation was mainly dedicated to producing ready-to-drink wine sold in basket bottles. Mauro, who took over the management of the winery at a very young age after his father's illness, recognized how important it was to focus on Barolo at a time when wine in the Langhe was synonymous with sweat, effort, and meager yields.
Extensive renovations began in the cellar, along with the renewal of the vineyards; and the desire for innovative techniques matured to promote a product that had been neglected for far too long. In 1987, Mauro married Daniela, and within a few years, vineyards in Monforte d'Alba were added to those in La Morra.
These were adventurous years in which producers exchanged knowledge, technology, and advice, driven by the desire to evolve and make the most of the fruits of their labor. Groups of visionaries formed who believed in a profound renewal of the way Barolo was made: no more rustic, random bottles, but clean, ready-to-drink wines with greater polyphenol extraction and moderate use of small barrels.
The reference was Burgundy, and the experience of winemakers seeking a fresher Barolo that was drinkable in a shorter time. The French example and the methanol scandal marked a turning point in the name of quality: chemical fertilizers were abolished, while care in the vineyard was prioritized, and lower yields achieved through thinning the grapes and green harvesting allowed for healthier, riper grapes, with increasing emphasis on cleanliness in the cellar processes.
The innovative approach and break with tradition did not go unnoticed and culminated in a real generational and stylistic conflict between proponents of modernity and advocates of tradition.
One thing, however, was certain regardless of the ideological disputes: thanks to the power of a shared experience and the desire for reparation, the new interpretation of Barolo brought the Langhe into the international spotlight.
In 2017, Mauro and Daniela announced the merger of their company with that of their nephew Alessandro Veglio. A step that arose from the strong desire to bring fresh air to the team and secure a family-run future for the winery.
Alessandro, born in 1982, brought his experience in viticulture to the company, in a generational exchange focused on quality, with the aim of producing balanced wines with a strong identity, without taking a specific stance.
