🏰【The 2018 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the best of Piedmont's winemaking traditions, representing Vietti's interpretation of Serralunga d'Alba, known for its powerful wines】. It received 96+ points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This Barolo displays a deep ruby red color with garnet nuances. The nose is fascinating and deep, with notes of hay, cut grass, tobacco, white pepper, and a hint of mint. On the palate, it is robust and muscular, with a taut and mineral finish, and firm, angular, austere, and very deep tannins typical of Serralunga. Expect notes of dark fruit, spice, earthy undertones, cherry, rose petal, black truffle, dried herbs, leather, licorice, plum, pomegranate, green tea, and eucalyptus. 🍴 This wine is an excellent match for braised beef, lamb chops, pasta bolognese, eggplant parmesan, cheese soufflé, veal marsala, stuffed leg of lamb, pasta and meatballs, baked brie with caramelized onions, osso buco, Greek lamb, and Comte cheese. 🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated Italian dinner, a special occasion celebrating fine Nebbiolo, or for collectors looking for a Barolo with significant aging potential.
