Wine Searcher review
Vietti "Lazzarito" Barolo 2021 is an exceptional 100% Nebbiolo sourced from the renowned Lazzarito MGA vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, one of Barolo's most prestigious crus. Its amphitheatre-shaped slopes, southwest exposure, and limestone-clay soils produce wines of remarkable concentration, structure, and longevity. Following traditional fermentation, the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks, preserving the purity of Nebbiolo and the distinctive expression of the vineyard. The 2021 vintage is regarded as one of the finest in recent years for Barolo, combining intensity, freshness, elegance, and exceptional balance. With its refined structure and depth, this wine has the potential to evolve gracefully over several decades.
The nose reveals aromas of ripe wild berries, red cherry, and wild strawberry, layered with rose petal, violet, tar, liquorice, dried herbs, and subtle truffle nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, profound, and elegantly structured, supported by vibrant acidity, firm, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable minerality. The finish is long, complex, and persistent, with lingering notes of red fruit, spice, tea leaf, and earthy undertones.
An outstanding pairing for slow-braised beef cheek, venison loin, roast lamb, truffle risotto, wild mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Castelmagno. Its powerful structure, vibrant acidity, and refined tannins beautifully complement richly flavoured dishes while enhancing their depth and complexity.
