Barolo Lazzarito impresses every year with its precision and class - two characteristics that are not often found in the Nebbiolo of the Serralunga region. Iron, smoke and white pepper fill the nose, and in the glass these impressions are extended by hints of pomegranate, red cherry jam, wild flowers and blood orange. Viettis Lazzarito has always stood for power and finesse and has long been in no way inferior to its "colleagues" from Ravera and Rocche. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, medium-dense ruby colour. Classic nose with notes of rose, cranberry and fresh cherry, plus some earthy components. Turns a real peacock's wheel on the palate, broodingtannins, embedded in a lot of sweet enamel, warm and round, very long finish." Falstaff

"Very complex flavours of dried strawberries, fresh mushrooms and some sour cherry. It is full-bodied but taut and extremely tannic, yet very fine and polished. Wonderful length. Power with finesse for a young Barolo." James Suckling

"Aromas of juniper, sage, green tea, cherry and tar characterise this tasty red wine, which is rich, supported by a powerful structure and yet remains balanced and long on the finish. Very pure and lively, with a fine tannin structure." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Barolo Lazzarito is another great wine in this range. The 2016 is the first vintage of Lazzarito that I can remember tasting, in which intense mineral notes accompany the savoury and earthy notes so typical of this site. Graphite, sage, dried flowers, crushed rock, menthol, dried rose petals, mint, liquorice and blood orange rush from the glass in a stunning, towering Barolo that hits all the right notes from the start to its chiselled, strikingly detailed finish. The 2016 Lazzarito is one of the most classic and austere wines in the range. In a word: great." Vinous

"The Vietti 2016 Barolo Lazzarito, which obtains its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, is built like a pyramid. It stands on a thick base of robust fruit and power and rises in intensity thanks to its wonderfully elevated bouquet. It shows direct and solid lines with blackberries, plums, spices, tar, liquorice, candied orange peel and truffle-infused earth. A second wave of flavours offers dark minerals and ferrous qualities such as iron ore and rust. Baroli from Serralunga d'Alba are often in a category of their own thanks to their richness and sheer abundance of fruit. With additional aeration, the Lazzarito delivers mint, balsamic herbs or Fernet-Branca." Wine Advocate
