Barolo Lazzarito DOCG 2019 Vietti

It is made from grapes sourced from the MGA Lazzarito and accurately interprets a rigorous, deep, and territorial style, designed for those seeking a characterful Barolo, capable of evolving over time and offering a complex and refined profile.

Territory and wine style

The Lazzarito plot is located in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, in an amphitheater position with a southwest exposure and clay-limestone soils. This is an ideal context for creating a structured, vertical, and mineral Barolo, where the fruit of the Nebbiolo combines with a significant tannic structure and a strong territorial identity. The vines, with an average age of 42 years, contribute to a mature and concentrated profile, without losing finesse and balance.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is deep and captivating, with hints of hay, cut grass, tobacco, white pepper, and wild mint. On the palate, the wine is robust and muscular, supported by an austere tannic structure typical of Serralunga, but also by a beautiful mineral tension that extends the finish. The persistence is broad, with a pleasantly sweet and harmonious final return that balances the initial severity and enhances its personality.
