TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

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. 97PTS Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
A graceful and enticing wine with complex, assertive cinnamon, melon, watermelon, earth, strawberries and peonies on the nose. This is a wine that breathes, with a full body, great fruit concentration, restrained blood orange flavors, lavish, elegant tannins and long, lifted acidity. Slightly stern in the finish, as expected from a young Barolo. 97PTS James Suckling

Producer

Vietti

Vietti is among the most esteemed producers in Barolo, releasing no fewer than six different bottlings of each vintage. The estate's history can be tracked back to the 19th Century, but they only bottled wines under their own name since the beginning of the 20th century. Alfredo Currado also called the "father of Arneis" (for his rediscovery of the nearly-lost varietal) grew Vietti in to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was pivotal in the early export of its products to the USA market. Alfredo was also one of the first to make wines from single plots (such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero), which was a radical concept at the time, a move that followed what Burgundian winemakers were doing. Today virtually every vintner making Barolo and Barbaresco wines offers 'single vineyard', 'cru-designated' wines. Sadly Alfredo Currado - one of Piedmont's pioneers - passed away in April, 2010, but he would no doubt be proud of his son Luca's achievements since he took over. The vineyards that make up the Vietti holdings are some of the finest in Piedmont; Le Coste, Liste, Bricco Boschis, Ginestra, Rocchettevino, Ciabot Berton and Bussia. The winery is an elite producer who has made very serious, 100 point rated Barolos, outstanding Barberas, and the consistently excellent Barolo 'Normale' called Castiglione. The wines come from Castiglione Falletto vineyards in the hearth of the Barolo zone where the soils have unique, sandy-calcareous qualities. Since 1974 certain Vietti wines have been adorned with labels that are specially-designed original works (lithographs, xylographies, etchings, silkscreens & linocuts) inspired by the wined of that particular vintage.
