Tasting note

Barolo Lazzarito 2019 has an irresistibly scrumptious nose of crisp, fresh red fruit alongside autumnal, woodsy notes, dried cherries, fragrant hay, bletted rosehips, dried figs and a hint of peppered steak. As befits a bona fide Barolo, there's quite a bit of tannin here, but it's astonishingly silky and suave, and there's fine balance and lovely ripeness. This is a really special, elegant bottle, and there's nothing to stop it being enjoyed immediately or any time over the next decade.
