Barolo Lazzarito 2022 Vietti

A Barolo from the single MGA vineyard Lazzarito in Serralunga d'Alba, made by Vietti. The vines average 40 years of age; after manual harvest and about four weeks of fermentation with skin maceration in steel, the wine ages for about 30 months in oak, partly in barriques. It is structured and persistent, with menthol, sage, eucalyptus, white pepper and balsamic notes, firm tannins and a strong mineral texture. It pairs well with slow-cooked meats, pasta with mushrooms and truffles, and mature cheeses.
