Veglio 2005 Vigna d'Vignia Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Impressive for its alluring nose with multiple layers of Indian spice, cherry fruit and leather. Ripe fruit is intense and focused on the palate while the long finish exhibits some slightly rustic character. Give the burly tannins four or five years to integrate fully.

Veglio 2004 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Exotic and brawny, with an alluring nose of tar and licorice interlaced with violets and roses. Muscular tannins frame streamlined cherry fruit and earth tones in the mouth. Nicely persistent. Although not the most sophisticated of Barolos, Veglio offers solid value in the category. Best after 2013.

Veglio 2005 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
This is a powerful bully of a wine but a good value in the pricey Barolo category. Sweaty, masculine aromas lead to a concentrated palate framed by strapping tannins and flavors of black earth and violets. Medium finish. Give it a few years to grow up.

Veglio 2004 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $12
The nose is complex, showing smoky dark cherry fruit, roses and cinammon. A pleasant wine on the palate, it shows the same complexity, but lacks concentration. A medium finish. A good wine that will work well with food, but it needs a little extra on the palate to make it special.

Veglio 2007 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Really charming, with a nose of green plums, red berries and earth that jumps out of the glass and curls up in your lap. The palate is lacking a bit in intensity but makes up for it with iresistable cassis flavor followed by fresh-roasted coffee. The bracing acidity would be well matched by a cheese-laden dish such as lasagna. Drink now to one year.

Veglio 2007 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba Superiore)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Light-bodied and lacking in tannin, this is a more traditional Barbera, with attractive mixed berry fruit on the nose, followed by forest floor and graham cracker flavors in the mouth. Drink now.

Veglio 2010 Moscato (Moscato d'Asti)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Fresh and fragrant, this cheerful Moscato d’Asti offers sweet tones of peach, lemon mousse and white flower backed by soft foam on the finish. It’s an easy dessert wine with loads of aromatic intensity.

Veglio 2001 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $32
Shows very ripe, roasted fruit and brown sugar. It verges on overripeness, but has the acidity to keep it in balance. For a Barolo from a top vintage, it lacks complexity, but it is an easy-drinking wine.
