Description
The Vietti Barolo Lazzarito DOCG 2021 originates from the prestigious Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. This wine features a complex flavor profile with notes of dark cherry, plum, and spice, alongside subtle floral and earthy undertones. It is characterized by its robust tannins and balanced acidity, making it a quintessential expression of Nebbiolo grapes typical of Barolo.
For optimal enjoyment, decant the wine for at least 1-2 hours before serving, allowing its aromas to develop. It pairs well with rich dishes such as braised meats, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses.
Expert Reviews
Fruit for this wine comes from a three-hectare parcel in Serralunga d'Alba near the village, with south and southwestern exposures in a small amphitheater. The soils in this area are older and thus more evolved, but they always create wines of strong character. The Vietti 2021 Barolo Lazzarito is easy to identify thanks to its salty mineral finish, which is almost metallic in taste, and its bright hints of sweet rosemary and wild herb. These delicate high notes form pretty framing to a dark core of elegant fruit. The estate counts five vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, but Lazzarito is the only MGA bottling. Production is a bit larger here, with 10,363 bottles made this vintage.
Wine Spectator This red is expressive and layered, offering cherry, strawberry, plum, cut hay, green tea and iron aromas and flavors. Well-structured and balanced, with a lively feel and a superbly long finish that echoes the fruit and savory elements. Captivating. Best from 2029 through 2050. From Italy.
