Azienda Agricola Lalù
Lalù's village Barolo has wild-flower scent, black tea and juicy red cherry. Gentle tannin gives this Nebbiolo a welcoming side. The 2022 comes from a Monforte plot bought that year, with two years of ageing in Austrian oak.

No current retailer offer matches that combination.
Stock status is read from each retailer’s page several times a week and may lag.
Lara Rocchietti and Luisa Sala bought this Monforte plot in 2022, after farming it in 2018 and 2019. It became a village Barolo alongside their separate Le Coste wine.
Wild flowers and black tea lead, with a smoky note behind them. Oak is quiet, even after the 2022 spent two years ageing in Austrian oak.
Smoky
Cherry
TeaJuicy red-cherry fruit gives a sweet-fruited feel to this dry Nebbiolo. The tannin is gentle, with fresh acidity despite the hot, dry 2022 season. Full body gives it room for rich food without a heavy oak flavour.
Gentle tannin shapes the close, with oak kept in the background. The emphasis fits Lalù's aim for a village Barolo that can be drunk young.
This is Lalù's village wine from Monforte, separate from its Le Coste Barolo. It offers an early way into the style, with scope to keep: the 2022's published window runs from 2027 to 2038.
The Wine Society is the one shop on this page. The offer is the 2022 village Barolo, so check the full label name when choosing: Lalù also makes Le Coste di Monforte.
The village label gives an early route into Lalù's Barolo range, with gentler tannin than the name Barolo might lead you to expect.
Fresh Nebbiolo acidity and gentle tannin make this a good partner for beef braises, truffle pasta and mushroom dishes.
Lalù's village Barolo offers a gift or dinner bottle for someone who enjoys Nebbiolo perfume and rich food.
The 2022 has a published window of 2027 to 2038, so there is scope to keep it into the next decade.
Gentle tannin and juicy cherry fruit soften the first step into Barolo, though £90 makes it a costly introduction.
The one shop on this page asks £90, above the middle of current Barolo prices here, so cheaper ways into the style are available.
The one shop on this page asks £90, a price better suited to a planned meal than a routine midweek bottle.

A compact view of what the Barolo denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Lalù's winemakers describe the 2022 Barolos as retaining plenty of acidity. That makes this estate worth considering on its own merits within a patchy Barolo year.
Heat and drought marked the 2022 Barolo season, and the finished wines vary widely in quality. This Lalù has a published drinking window of 2027 to 2038.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
The grapes grow in Monforte d'Alba, while Lalù set up its cellar in Serralunga d'Alba. The label's place name tells you where the vineyard lies, not the town where the winery began making wine.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Barolo is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Barolo falls within Piedmont, covering Cuneo, Langhe: Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Novello, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour, Diano d'Alba, Cherasco, Roddi. The denomination is further divided into 11 sub-zones.

Lara and Luisa describe this Monforte plot as low in fertility, with low yields each year. Fewer grapes share the cost of tending the vines.
Lalù ages this 2022 for 24 months in Austrian oak, then three months in concrete. The vessels, cellar space and time all add cost before the wine can be sold.
This Barolo spends 30 to 50 days on its skins, with daily work on the cap during fermentation. That hands-on stage adds labour to the cost of the wine.
Together, roughly £18.33 of the £90 price is tax.
Roast veal is a useful starting point for this Lalù: rich enough for its body, yet mild enough to leave room for the floral scent.
Beef takes the edge off Nebbiolo tannin, while the wine's acidity keeps rich sauces fresh. Lalù's juicy cherry fruit works with the deep savoury flavour of Brasato al Barolo.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Bollito dei Pastori · Beef stew · More pairings →
Lalù's smoky black-tea notes meet the earthy depth of truffle and porcini. The fresh acidity in this Barolo keeps butter-rich egg pasta from feeling too heavy.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Agnolotti del Plin · Truffle risotto · Porcini mushroom risotto · More pairings →
This full-bodied Barolo has enough weight for roast meat and gravy. Its juicy cherry fruit sits well beside lamb, while the gentle tannin works with the meat's fat and protein.
Try with: Leg of lamb · Rack of lamb · Roast Lamb with Mint Sauce · Sunday Roast Beef
Creamy rice and melted cheese need a fresh edge. Lalù's Nebbiolo acidity gives that lift, while its full body stands up to these rich dishes.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Pumpkin risotto · Radicchio risotto · Fonduta · More pairings →
Nebbiolo acidity cuts through rich pastry and gravy, while tannin meets the meat inside. Lalù's smoky notes also give an earthy link to venison.
Try with: Venison Stew · Beef wellington · Steak and Kidney Pie · More pairings →
Chilli heat makes Nebbiolo's tannin feel harsher. Sweet glazes can make this dry Barolo taste sour and strip away the appeal of its cherry fruit. Choose savoury dishes with little heat.
Skip with: Crispy chilli beef · Szechuan beef · Lamb bhuna · Tandoori lamb chops · Pairing guide →
The 2022's window begins in 2027, but Lalù also describes this village wine as ready to approach young. That leaves a choice between an early bottle with food and keeping one for later.
For the main offer above.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
The 2022 has a published window of 2027 to 2038, so there is scope to keep it into the next decade.
£90.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2022, at The Wine Society, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

No. This is Lalù's village Barolo from Monforte d'Alba, made from a plot bought in 2022. Le Coste di Monforte is a separate wine. Lara and Luisa had already farmed this village wine's plot in 2018 and 2019.
The 2022 spends 24 months in Austrian oak, followed by three months in concrete. Its oak flavour stays quiet beside wild flowers, black tea and juicy red cherry.
Plan for 2027 to 2038, its published drinking window. Lalù also presents this village wine as one that can be drunk young. Its gentle tannin makes an early bottle with food a reasonable choice.
The Wine Society is the one shop on this page, offering the 2022 in a 75cl bottle at £90. There is no second shop's price to compare here. Check its membership terms before ordering.
Braised beef, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto and roast lamb all suit its full body and fresh acidity. Its gentle Nebbiolo tannin works well with rich, savoury food. Avoid hot chilli dishes and sweet-sour sauces.
