Vietti - Barolo Lazzarito 2021 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
James Suckling: 97 Points
A graceful and enticing wine with complex assertive cinnamon melon watermelon earth strawberries and peonies on the nose. This is a wine that breathes with a full body great fruit concentration restrained blood orange flavors lavish elegant tannins and long lifted acidity. Slightly stern in the finish as expected from a young Barolo. Best after 2028.

Fruit for this wine comes from a three-hectare parcel in Serralunga d'Alba near the village with south and southwestern exposures in a small amphitheater. The soils in this area are older and thus more evolved but they always create wines of strong character. The Vietti 2021 Barolo Lazzarito is easy to identify thanks to its salty mineral finish which is almost metallic in taste and its bright hints of sweet rosemary and wild herb. These delicate high notes form pretty framing to a dark core of elegant fruit. The estate counts five vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba but Lazzarito is the only MGA bottling. Production is a bit larger here with 10363 bottles made this vintage. Published: Jan 30 2025
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2021 Barolo Lazzarito is a potent deep wine. Not surprisingly it is quite closed in the very early going. Even so all the natural power and intensity of Serralunga is very much on display. It is the most backward and forbiddingly tannic of these Barolos today. Then again that is Serralunga. Hints of gravel incense and charcoal peek out on the finish. - By Antonio Galloni on January 2025
