Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2018: A Classic Barolo with Power and Elegance

The Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2018 is a wine that stands as a remarkable testament to the renowned Barolo appellation in Italy’s Piedmont region. Crafted entirely from the Nebbiolo grape, this powerful Barolo is an exquisite blend of strength and finesse. With an alcohol content of 14.5% and full-bodied structure, the wine delivers a striking experience for the discerning wine connoisseur.

On the nose, the wine unveils an intricate bouquet of herbaceous tones, tobacco, and pepper, inviting the drinker to dive deeper into its complexity. These aromas evolve as the wine breathes, revealing layers of dried rose petals, earthy nuances, and subtle spices. The Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2018 showcases the intense character typical of Nebbiolo while maintaining a sense of refined elegance.

The palate is equally compelling, with robust tannins that provide both structure and depth. The wine’s minerality is taut, enhancing its complexity and leading to a long, persistent finish. The depth and boldness of this wine are balanced by its elegant acidity, creating an ideal profile for aging.

The 2018 vintage was shaped by a cool growing season, beginning with significant rainfall in April, followed by slightly below-average temperatures throughout the summer. However, the weather in September was perfect, with diurnal temperature swings that allowed the grapes to reach phenolic ripeness, leading to wines with freshness and balance. As a result, the 2018 Barolo Lazzarito delivers classic, elegant qualities that will continue to evolve beautifully over time.

Winery	The grapes come from two hectares of estate vines in the Barolo Cru of “Lazzarito” in Serralunga d’Alba, a fabulous amphitheatre-shaped plot with southwestern exposure. Serralunga d’Alba is the furthest east of the Barolo communes, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay; these soils are some of the oldest in the region, poor, unfertile, and white calcareous, which brings saline minerality and tension to the wine. The estate vines are planted between 330 and 380 meters above sea level. The average age of the Guyot-trained vines is 43 years, and they are planted at a density of around 4,500 vines per hectare. They are cultivated sustainably and are hand-harvested in October.
