Perhaps the most emblematic of the Barolo region, the Vietti label is renowned worldwide for incredible quantity and delicious, approachable and age-worthy wines. An estate with winemaking roots more than 150 years ago, Vietti's holdings are enviable with nearly every top cru represented over their 75 hectares of vineyards.

Vietti

Carlo Vietti began the Vietti family winemaking journey in 1873, though it was in the mid-20th century with Alfredo Currado's entrance to the family through marriage that the winery began to truly set themselves apart with single-cru bottlings and decorative, artistic labels.

Though difficult to believe, Barolo only became a DOC in 1960; in 1961, Vietti released the Rocche di Castiglione cru for the first time, one of the very first single-cru labels ever released from Barolo. Today under new direction, the Vietti label is widely-known as one of impeccable quality from their approachable Barbera and Langhe labels to their incredibly age-worthy Barolos, be it the blend of crus in Castiglione or the famed Barolo Villero Riserva, routinely one of Piedmont's best wines each vintage.

Vineyard work is done entirely sustainably, with the estate recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Winemaking is done in a largely traditional method, utilizing submerged-cap macerations for all Nebbiolo wines, and extended aging in large oak barrels.

Lazzarito stands out as one of the strongest wines in this portfolio of new releases from Vietti. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2020 Barolo Lazzarito comes in at a very high threshold in terms of complexity, offering dark cherry, crème de cassis, violet macaron, dried herb and lavender. The wine's perfumes remind me of the south of France in summer. It shows elegant tannins, streamlined intensity and good acidity. Production is 10,626 bottles.

The 2020 Barolo Lazzarito is a blend of fruit picked before and after the early October rains. It marries power and finesse to a notable degree. Dark red fruit, menthol, licorice, crushed rocks and dried herbs open nicely in the glass. This is a bit light for a Serralunga Barolo, although the tannic structure is there. This is missing a bit of personality.
