Vietti, a family-run estate in Castiglione Falletto, is renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices and the expression of unique terroirs. The winery emphasises meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention in the cellar to produce wines of elegance and complexity.

The Lazzarito vineyard, situated in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, is characterised by its calcareous clay soils and south-west exposure at an altitude of approximately 260 to 390 metres. Vietti's holdings in this esteemed cru yield Nebbiolo grapes of exceptional quality. In 2015, the grapes were hand-harvested and underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing for 30 months in a combination of French and Slavonian oak casks.

The 2015 Barolo Lazzarito presents a deep ruby hue. The nose offers a complex bouquet of violets, wild rose, and a touch of orange blossom, intertwined with notes of black fruit and freshly milled white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, showcasing flavours of ripe cherries, plums, and a mineral undertone. The fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity contribute to a harmonious structure, leading to a long, persistent finish. This Barolo exemplifies the elegance and depth characteristic of the Lazzarito cru and is poised for graceful ageing over the next two decades.

Reviews

"Opening to a beautifully floral bouquet, the 2015 Barolo Lazzarito delivers fragrant tones of violets, wild rose and a touch of orange blossom. As is the norm at Vietti, I tasted this wine and then wrote this review based on impressions gained from two samples—one opened several hours before my tasting and one opened at the moment of my review. Those floral notes came forth with increased intensity and clarity in the bottle that had been opened longer. The bouquet continues to surprise with touches of black fruit and freshly milled white pepper. However, like many wines from Serralunga d’Alba, this expression from Lazzarito reveals a pretty inner paradox. Those ethereal and balsamic aromas cede to a dense and rich mouthfeel, characterized by structure and power. Those two sides of the wine reach beautiful parity and lasting harmony."
"This is a very youthful Barolo that has attractive, fragrant perfume with freshly picked roasting herbs and a strong, central thread of ripe cherries and red plums. The pure and concentrated palate frames intense plum and cherry flavors in long, unwavering tannins that deliver rich, strong and seamless into the finish. Exceptional quality and built for aging. Try from 2025"
