Tasting Notes
We are very proud to share this rare and prestigious wine with you. The Vigna Lazzarito cuvée hails from a magnificent vineyard plot in the Serralunga d’Alba. Intense ruby colour, with garnet nuances. The nose offers a generous bouquet of prune, tobacco, licorice, dried mushroom, nutmeg, and white pepper. On the palate, the dense, firm tannins provide balance and structure to this powerful red wine. After 22 years, this outstanding Barolo is just reaching its highly complex peak. Decant one hour before serving for an even more impressive and memorable experience.

Vinification and Aging
Ageing begins in barrels made of oak from Allier, 50% of which are new. The wine stays in the barrels for around 12 months, and is then racked into medium-small oak casks holding 2000 and 3000 litres to continue maturing for another year.
