Description
Les vignes trentenaires de Nebbiolo s’épanouissent dans la vallée de Lazzarito à Serralunga d’Alba sur 2 hectares en exposition sud-ouest au sol argilo-calcaire. Les jus voient 30 mois d’élevage en fûts.
Malgré la difficulté du millésime, Lazzarito 2017 exprime une profondeur redoutable sur un fruit tendre étincelant. Le bouquet évolue sur le poivre blanc, la rose, le poivre noir et le giboyeux. En bouche, on trouve une puissance naturelle somptueuse qui demande encore 1 an pour révéler tout son potentiel.
Suggestion gourmande
Faisan à la ficelle, sauce salmi.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"This is very chewy and powerful with lots of velvety tannins that are firm and intense. It’s full and flavorful with strawberries and tar. Bark undertones. Flavorful finish. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024."
The Wine Advocate
"The Vietti 2017 Barolo Lazzarito draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba and reveals a luminous garnet color. Compared to some of the others in this portfolio, the wine takes a little longer to open and express itself. It does, however, unfold to dark cherry, redcurrant, grilled herb, iron ore and candied orange peel. You need to give your glass a few extra vigorous swirls. Those rusty mineral notes build in intensity and drive the wine's medium-long finish."
Wine Spectator
" taut, structured Barolo, offering aromas and flavors of plum and cherry fruit shaded by accents of tobacco, iron, green tea and leafy underbrush. This is firm and gains power on the long finish. Best from 2025 through 2045."
Jeb Dunnuck
"From the southwest facing amphitheater of Lazzarito in Serralunga d’Alba the 2017 Barolo Lazzarito was aged for 30 months in a combination of large oak casks and barrique. The nose is layered with elegant spice and floral notes of cedar, red plum, and brushed leather. There is incredible balance within its structure, which has deceptive ease for early drinking. Hold 3-5 years or drink 2023-2046."
Vinous
"Vietti's 2017 Barolo Lazzarito is absolutely gorgeous. Whatever the challenges of the growing season, they appear to have been no problem here. More than anything else, the Lazzarito impresses with its magnificent depth and stature. Super-ripe red fruit, white pepper, mint, tobacco, cured meat, spice and rose petal open gradually with time in the glass. I would not be in a rush to open bottles anytime soon. The Lazzarito has been one of the most improved wines at Vietti for a number of years. The 2017 is so captivating. Drinking window: 2025 - 2042"
