description Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Riserva Overview
Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Riserva is a Nebbiolo wine made from the Lazzarito vineyard area in Serralunga d'Alba, within Piedmont's Barolo appellation. It is produced by Vietti, an estate based in Castiglione Falletto that is associated with vineyard-designated Barolo bottlings. As a Barolo Riserva, it is subject to longer legally required aging than standard Barolo and is intended for drinkers interested in site-specific, traditionally structured Piedmontese wine.
help Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Riserva FAQ
Where is the Lazzarito vineyard used by Vietti?
Lazzarito is a renowned Barolo cru in Serralunga d'Alba, an area known for structured Nebbiolo grown on limestone-rich soils. Vietti vinifies its parcel separately rather than blending it into a multi-vineyard Barolo.
What makes the Riserva different from Vietti's regular Lazzarito Barolo?
The Riserva is a rarer, longer-aged selection released only when Vietti considers the vintage and wine suitable. It should not be confused with the estate's standard Barolo Lazzarito bottling, which appears more regularly.
How long can Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Riserva age?
Its Nebbiolo structure and Serralunga origin give strong vintages the capacity to evolve for decades. With age, primary cherry and floral aromas can develop into leather, tobacco, dried herbs, and truffle notes.
Which Vietti cru Barolos are comparable to Lazzarito?
Vietti also bottles named-site Barolos such as Rocche di Castiglione, Brunate, Ravera, and Cerequio. Each comes from a different cru, so the comparison is useful for tasting how site changes Nebbiolo within the Barolo zone.
