THE COMPANY

In the little hamlet of Ciotto, in La Morra, the Veglio family has always been dedicated to the land since the early 1900s. Angelo Veglio, in the ‘60, bought the first vineyard in the locality of Gattera. In 1979, again in the Annunziata hamlet, the family took over a part of the Cascina Nuova along with 5 hectares including the “Cru” Arborina and Rocche dell’Annunziata: from that moment the story of the Veglio as wine growers began. In 1986, Mauro, son of Angelo, in his young age took over the reins of the company and together with his wife Daniela acquired the vineyards in Monforte d’Alba from his father-in-law in 1996 continuing to renew the vineyards. Active protagonist of the “barolo boys” movement – who between the ‘80 and ‘90 changed the way to see the Barolo – Mauro, in 2017, decides to focus on young people by joining his company with that of his nephew Alessandro, born in 1982. It is the only case in Langa where what had been divided over time between the founder’s grandchildren and children is reunited! Simple and natural viticulture, respectful of the environment, fertilization with manure, grassing of the vineyard for fine and elegant wines, perfect ambassadors of their territory, made by two men who always question themselves to improve the “fruits” of their land.

Barolo

The Barolo area begins just three kilometers southwest of Barbaresco and is subject to many of the same climatic influences. More than 1,200 hectares of vineyards from the many differences in exposure, altitude and climate. Two main soil types: west of the road to Alba, around La Morra, the soils are very similar to those of Barbaresco, limestone marls from the Tortonian period. To the east, however, in the vineyards of Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga and north of Monforte, the soils are much less fertile and richer in sandstone.
