Barolo Lazzarito 2020 BIO DOCG Vietti

The Barolo Lazzarito 2020 BIO DOCG Vietti expresses with great precision the identity of one of the most recognizable crus of Serralunga d’Alba. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it tells a rigorous and deep style, capable of uniting aromatic intensity, structure, and a sculpted tannic texture. It is a wine designed for those seeking an authentic, territorial Barolo with a strong personality, enhanced by a respectful processing of the vineyard and its purest expression.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the single vineyard MGA Lazzarito, in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, from an amphitheater-shaped plot with a southwest exposure. The calcareous-clay soils and the altitude between 330 and 380 meters above sea level contribute to defining a tense, deep, and authoritative profile, typical of this area of the Langhe. The presence of vines with an average age of 43 years adds complexity and solidity to the overall picture, while traditional vinification and aging in wood for about 30 months help to build a Barolo of great balance between energy and maturity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is captivating and deep, with balsamic notes intertwined with sage, eucalyptus, white pepper, and mint. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, but supported by a lively acidic backbone and a tense, mineral finish. The tannin, typical of Serralunga, is austere, angular, and very deep, while the closure leaves a pleasant sensation of sweet persistence.

Recommended pairings

The Barolo Lazzarito 2020 BIO DOCG Vietti pairs very effectively with important dishes from Piedmontese and Italian cuisine, such as braised meats, roasts, game, agnolotti del plin with ragù, and preparations with mushrooms or truffles. Its structure also makes it ideal with aged cheeses and rich dishes, where the tannic component finds harmony in the richness and complexity of the food. It is a perfect wine for special gastronomic occasions and classy dinners.

Serving temperature

Serve the Barolo Lazzarito 2020 BIO DOCG Vietti at a temperature between 18 and 20 °C. In its youth, it can benefit from a brief oxygenation in a decanter or a slow opening in the glass, to best enhance the aromatic profile and tannic texture.
