Vietti Barolo Lazzarito: The Power of Serralunga

The Vietti Barolo Lazzarito is a single-vineyard masterpiece from the legendary Lazzarito cru in Serralunga d’Alba. This wine is celebrated for its ‘masculine’ structure and profound intensity, delivering the ultimate expression of Nebbiolo grown on ancient clay and limestone soils. A coveted bottle for collectors and a true centerpiece for any fine dining occasion.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Color: Deep ruby-red with evolving garnet highlights.
• Nose: An alluring and complex bouquet, opening with layers of ripe dark cherry, raspberry, licorice, tobacco, and wild mint, underpinned by balsamic tones and a distinct minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and potent, it showcases the hallmark stark, firm tannins of Serralunga, beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity. The wine’s structural depth ensures incredible longevity and a long, persistent, mineral-driven finish.

Pairing & Service

This is a wine built for rich, savory dishes. Serve at 64-68°F (18-20°C). A long decant (3+ hours) is essential for younger vintages to allow the tannins to integrate and aromas to fully blossom.

• Suggested Pairings: Traditional Osso Buco with Gremolata, Prime Rib Roast, Wild Mushroom Risotto with Truffles, Aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
