Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2019 Wine Description
The Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2019 is a remarkable representation of Barolo, showcasing the power and elegance of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo grape. Crafted by the renowned Vietti winery, this Barolo stands as a fine example of a wine with impressive depth, structure, and aging potential.
The nose is captivating, offering a complex bouquet of herbaceous notes intertwined with aromas of tobacco and a subtle hint of black pepper. These elements combine harmoniously to create a wine that is both powerful and inviting. On the palate, the 2019 Lazzarito delivers a robust experience, with intense, well-integrated tannins that provide a firm backbone, while the taut minerality adds to its overall elegance. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's rich concentration.
2019 was a warm year in Piedmont, starting with a dry spring, followed by a balanced summer marked by occasional rains. September provided ideal conditions for the grapes to reach full phenolic ripening, resulting in perfectly ripe fruit that offers exceptional intensity and complexity. The result is a vintage that not only promises immediate pleasure but is also poised to evolve beautifully with age.
With its refined structure and impressive concentration, Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2019 is perfect for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate a wine with aging potential. It is best enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment.

Winery | The grapes come from two hectares of estate vines in the Barolo Cru of “Lazzarito” in the municipality of 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. |
