Aroma: hay, cut grass, tobacco, white pepper, wild mint

Palate: mineral, savoury fruit

From the Serralunga cru of Lazzarito, this is Vietti's most robust, potent Barolo: hay, tobacco and white pepper over stark, profound tannin and a taut mineral finish.

What it pairs with

  • Braised beef shank
    Potent tannin needs the richness of long-braised beef.
  • Bollito misto
    Serralunga structure stands up to the platter of mixed boiled meats.
  • Aged Bra Duro
    Hard alpine cheese mirrors the wine's mineral grip.

History

Lazzarito is one of Serralunga d'Alba's grand crus, giving Vietti a powerful, structured Barolo from the zone's iron-rich soils.
