Description
Mauro Veglio’s Langhe Nebbiolo is named “Angelo” in homage to Alessandro’s grandfather, who founded the domaine. The style of this wine has evolved over recent vintages, and the wine is now aged only in old barriques and tonneau for six months. Half the fruit comes from rented vines in Roero.
The balance comes from young vines in Barolo, including Gattera, and some vines on north-facing slopes not used for Barolo. This has an appealing sturdiness, and quite an impressive tannic structure. There is a very assured typicity and a bright, sweet core of fruit.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Langhe
Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.
