Vietti's single-vineyard Barolo from the Lazzarito vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba: 100% Nebbiolo aged around 30 months in large casks. Tar, dried rose and tobacco over a taut, stony, firmly tannic core. A structured, age-worthy Barolo for the cellar.

Our tasting of Lazzarito, a named single vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba: its aromatics and structure, read alongside Vietti's own notes.
Tar and dried rose lead, the classic Nebbiolo overture. Then tobacco, hay and the white pepper and wild mint Vietti notes from the Lazzarito plot lead. Primary fruit stays in the background. This is the savoury, leather and forest-floor register Serralunga is known for, the note drinkers reach for most before any cherry shows.

LiquoriceRobust and tightly wound, with the stark, deep tannins Vietti flags as typical of Serralunga. The palate also carries a taut stony spine that traces to the limestone and clay at 260 to 390 metres. Sour cherry and dark plum sit behind liquorice, menthol and tobacco. The roughly 30 months in large casks frame the fruit rather than sweeten it. Bold and dry, built on structure more than flesh.
The finish is long, stony and firmly tannic. It closes on liquorice, tobacco and a faint balsamic lift. The sweet persistence Vietti describes arrives late, a sappy length that rewards cellaring.
A single-vineyard Serralunga Barolo built for the long haul. It sits at the top of Vietti's range beside its other cru bottlings. Drinkers rate it highly, 4.4 on Vivino across nearly 2,900 ratings, with the 2017 among the top 1% of all wines, for exactly this stern, classical profile. Buy it for the cellar rather than tonight's table.
Where to buy Vietti Barolo Lazzarito in the UK, from the 1999 back vintage through to the current 2022. The 2021 trades near 409 GBP and the middle vintages closer to 250 GBP. Magnums are listed here alongside the standard 75cl bottles.
A structured, high-classification Serralunga single vineyard: strong for food and cellaring, less so as an everyday pour at this price.
A structured single-vineyard Serralunga Barolo with deep tannin and DOCG ageing; built to improve for 10 to 20 years in strong vintages.
High-acid, firmly tannic Nebbiolo is a classic table red for braised meat, truffle and aged cheese; very strong with rich Langhe food.
A prestigious single-vineyard Barolo from a benchmark producer; a natural special-occasion and collector bottle.
At about 247 GBP it is priced as serious single-vineyard Barolo; the quality justifies it for collectors, but it is no everyday bargain.
Stark Serralunga tannins and a savoury, non-fruity profile make this a connoisseur's Barolo rather than an easy introduction.
Far too structured and expensive for everyday drinking; this is an occasion and cellar wine.

A compact view of what the Barolo denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
From the cool, classical 2014 to the structured 2019 and 2021, vintage shapes how long this Lazzarito needs. Drinking windows follow the Piedmont vintage chart.
A classic, structured vintage rated very highly across Piedmont, with deep tannins and slightly higher ripeness; a long-haul Lazzarito for patient cellars.
A balanced, elegant vintage with fresh acidity and firm tannin; aromatic and approachable earlier than 2019 while still cellar-worthy.
A benchmark Piedmont vintage, structured and pure with stern, age-worthy tannins; it needs cellar time and will reward it into the 2040s.
A balanced, elegant vintage with fresh acidity and firm tannin; aromatic and approachable earlier than 2019 while still cellar-worthy.
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.
A single-vineyard Barolo from 42-year-old vines in Serralunga d'Alba, aged about 30 months in large casks before release.
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.

Lazzarito is one of Serralunga's top sites; single-vineyard Barolo commands a steep premium over blended Barolo, and Vietti's bottling lists near 250 GBP.
Vietti reports an average vine age of 42 years at about 4,500 plants per hectare. Old vines and low yields concentrate fruit and lift cost per bottle.
Vietti holds the wine roughly 30 months in large casks before release, tying up cellar space and capital well beyond an entry Barolo.
Vietti is a reference Barolo house; the 2014 scored 95 to 97 with the leading critics and drinkers like the wine year after year, which supports fine-wine pricing.
UK excise duty is 2.67 GBP per 75cl still wine up to 15% ABV (2026 rate). On a 250 GBP bottle, duty plus 20% VAT account for roughly 44 GBP of tax before margin.
Ageing in large Slavonian casks rather than new small French barrels avoids heavy annual barrel-replacement cost, a modest restraint on the final price.
Built for protein, fat and umami: brasato al Barolo, white-truffle tajarin and porcini risotto from the Langhe table.
Serralunga's stark, deep tannins need protein and fat to soften. The long braise of brasato al Barolo melts the grip and lets the wine's tar and cherry come through. A textbook Langhe match.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Beef stew · Sunday Roast Beef · More pairings →
The wine's tar, dried rose and forest-floor aromatics bridge straight to white Alba truffle and butter. Tajarin and agnolotti carry an eggy, savoury richness that meets Nebbiolo's perfume without fighting its tannin.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Tagliatelle al tartufo di Acqualagna · Agnolotti del Plin · Truffle risotto · More pairings →
Porcini and other mushroom dishes echo the forest-floor and dried-herb side of mature Nebbiolo. The umami depth matches the wine's body while its acidity keeps a creamy risotto from cloying.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Radicchio risotto · More pairings →
High acidity and firm tannin cut through the rich fat of venison, pheasant and duck. The wine's savoury, slightly gamey maturity flatters autumn game without being overwhelmed.
Try with: Venison Stew · Roast Pheasant · Roast Duck · Duck breast · More pairings →
Mature, salty hard cheeses meet Nebbiolo's tannin and acidity in balance. The dried-fruit sweetness on the finish offsets the salt of Castelmagno, Parmigiano and aged pecorino.
Try with: Castelmagno · aged Parmigiano Reggiano · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Toma piemontese · More pairings →
Big tannin and high alcohol amplify chilli heat and turn bitter against sugar. Fiery curries, sweet-sour stir-fries and delicate raw fish all flatten this Barolo. Save it for savoury, slow-cooked food.
Skip with: vindaloo · Szechuan beef · sweet and sour pork · sushi · Pairing guide →
Serralunga's deep tannins reward patience; the strong 2019 and 2021 vintages will hold into the 2040s.
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.
A structured single-vineyard Serralunga Barolo with deep tannin and DOCG ageing; built to improve for 10 to 20 years in strong vintages.
£185.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2010, at Hedonism, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumIt is 100% Nebbiolo, as all Barolo must be. The fruit comes from Lazzarito, a south-west-facing named single vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba with limestone and clay soils.
Savoury and structured: tar, dried rose, tobacco and white pepper rather than sweet fruit, with stark Serralunga tannins and a taut, stony finish. It is a bold, dry, firmly tannic Barolo built around structure.
Most vintages reward five to fifteen years in the cellar. Serralunga's deep tannins need time, and strong recent vintages such as 2019 and 2021 will drink well into the late 2030s and 2040s.
Classic Langhe dishes: brasato al Barolo, tajarin with white truffle, porcini risotto and aged Castelmagno. The tannins want protein and fat, so avoid chilli-heavy or sweet-sour dishes.
It is a single-vineyard Barolo from 42-year-old vines on a top Serralunga site, made in small quantities. It is aged about 30 months in large casks before release. Single-vineyard Barolo from a benchmark producer commands a premium.
