extraprima 98 | Parker’s WA 97 | Galloni 95 | Suckling 97 |  

brachiale Serralunga-Intensität mit Potenzial

extraprima 98 | Der Lazzarito 2021 verfügt über eine süßliche, leicht konfierte Primärfrucht im Geruch, mit ätherischen Nuancen und Weihrauch. Im Mund fächern sich seine massiven Gerbstoffe weit auf und verfügen über eine erdige Festigkeit. Intensiv und lang durchdringt er den Mundraum mit dieser Serralungs-Wucht und endloser Kraft. Ein ganz großer Barolo, der mit Duftigkeit, Finessen und unglaublicher Intensität begeistert. 

endlose Kraft mit massiven Gerbstoffen

Parker’s WA 97 | 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 10,363 bottles made this vintage.

elegante Frucht und salziges Finale

Galloni 95 | 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.

Zimt, Melone, Erde und Beeren

Suckling 97 | 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.
