Vietti's 2014 Barolo Lazzarito in 1.5 litre magnum: kirsch, rose petal and mint over the amphitheatre cru's angular Serralunga tannin. WA 95, Vinous 96 and Decanter 97, mature and in its 2020-2034 window, slowed further by the large format.
Vietti's technical sheet gives Lazzarito balsamic sage, eucalyptus, white pepper and mint; Antonio Galloni's 96-point Vinous review of the 2014 adds kirsch, rose petal and chalk with beams of tannin and salinity. The note below folds in the Vivino crowd, 4.4 stars across 2,916 ratings.
Atypically red-toned for Serralunga: Antonio Galloni's 96-point Vinous note on the 2014 found kirsch, mint, rose petal and chalk building in the glass. Vietti's own technical sheet adds the cru's balsamic register of sage, eucalyptus and white pepper. A decade on, the tar and leather that lead Vivino drinker reviews sit just behind that fruit.

LiquoriceFull but fresh, carrying the energy of the cool, rainy 2014 season on angular, austere Serralunga tannin, the producer's own words for Lazzarito. The calcareous-clay soils at 330 to 380 metres show as a chalky, saline grip through the black cherry and plum middle. Around 30 months in large oak casks with a small share of barriques, and malolactic in wood, keep the frame gently spiced rather than sweet.
Tense and mineral, closing on liquorice and tobacco with the late sweet persistence Vietti describes. Galloni's beams of tannin and salinity carry it long.
Luca Currado told Wine Advocate the 2014 was among the best vintages he had made at Lazzarito, and the WA 95, Vinous 96 and Decanter 97 scores bear him out against a rain-hit year's reputation; Vivino's crowd holds the wine at 4.4 across 2,916 ratings. In magnum the 2020 to 2034 window stretches at the far end: an occasion Barolo for drinkers who want Serralunga depth with the 2014's perfume.
Corney & Barrow lists the 2014 Lazzarito magnum at £247.12, brokered stock shipped in its original wooden case. Per 75cl that is £123.56, under our listed prices for every younger 75cl vintage of the same wine (£249.92 to £409.46).
Occasion and cellar lead the score: a mature, 95-plus-point Serralunga cru in large format. At £123.56 per 75cl equivalent it undercuts every younger Lazzarito vintage we list, but a £247 magnum is not an everyday pour.
A mature 95-97 point Serralunga cru in original-wood magnum, in its drinking window per Corney & Barrow's 2020-2034 bracket: built for the big table.
Barolo DOCG mandates 38 months' ageing with 18 in oak, Serralunga tannin runs deep, and the magnum format slows evolution inside the 2020-2034 window.
Nebbiolo's high acid and firm Serralunga tannin make the 2014 Lazzarito a food wine first, built for braises, truffle and game, though it punishes light or chilli-led plates.
No price aggregate exists, so derived editorially: £247.12 buys a WA 95, Vinous 96 mature magnum, £123.56 per 75cl against the £249.92 to £409.46 our listings show for younger 75cl vintages.

Rain made 2014 a variable Piedmont year, but Wine Advocate's Monica Larner records that Lazzarito suffers in scorching summers and performs best in the coolest ones, and Luca Currado called 2014 among his best at the site. The scores agree: WA 95, Vinous 96, Decanter 97, James Suckling 93.
A cool, rain-challenged Piedmont vintage that favoured late-ripening Serralunga and careful growers; Vietti's Lazzarito is more elegant and earlier-accessible than a warm year, with the cru's firm tannic spine intact.

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.
Barolo DOCG requires 38 months' ageing, 18 of them in oak, and a release tasting; Vietti holds Lazzarito about 30 months in large casks with a small share of barriques. The cru itself is a named MGA on calcareous-clay soils at 330 to 380 metres in Serralunga d'Alba.
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.
Vietti's holding in the Serralunga amphitheatre is roughly 2 hectares at 4,500 Guyot vines per hectare, per its own technical sheet; a single-MGA Barolo from a plot this small cannot scale, and scarcity leads the price.
One 1.5L bottle in original wood costs more in glass, cork and casing than two 75cl bottles, and Corney & Barrow sells it brokered as fine-wine stock at £247.12 the case of one.
Wine Advocate 95, Vinous 96 and Decanter 97 underpin secondary-market demand; Luca Currado told Wine Advocate the 2014 was one of the best vintages he had made at the site.
Lazzarito holds about 30 months in large casks and barriques before release, per Vietti's sheet and Decanter, and a 2014 sold in 2026 has carried storage and insurance cost ever since.
Rain made 2014 a doubted year in Barolo, so it trades below the hyped vintages: this magnum's £123.56 per 75cl undercuts the £249.92 to £409.46 our listings show for the 2018-2021 in 75cl.
HMRC duty on still wine up to 15% ABV is £2.67 per 75cl, so £5.34 on a magnum, and VAT accounts for £41.19 of the £247.12 Corney & Barrow price.
Dishes that complement this wine
Vietti calls the tannin here angular, austere and very deep, typical of Serralunga; a decade on from the 2014 harvest it asks for collagen, fat and earth. Brasato al Barolo and truffle tajarin are the Langhe logic, and Vivino drinkers log beef, lamb and game most often.
Vietti calls Lazzarito's tannin angular, austere and very deep, and slow-braised beef collagen is exactly what those tannins bind to. With the 2014 a decade on, Decanter finds the tannins in a state of grace, so a brasato melts into the wine rather than fighting it.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Beef stew · More pairings →
Forest floor, tobacco and liquorice run through Decanter's note on the 2014, and earthy notes lead Vivino drinker reviews with 222 mentions. White truffle tajarin and porcini dishes mirror that register from the same Langhe hills as the Lazzarito cru.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · More pairings →
Galloni's Vinous review stresses the energy of the cool 2014 season, and that Nebbiolo acidity slices through roast fat and gravy. Each mouthful of beef or lamb comes back refreshed, the way a Langhe table expects.
Try with: Sunday Roast Beef · Roast Lamb with Mint Sauce · Beef wellington · More pairings →
The weight and depth of Serralunga come through on the midpalate, in Galloni's words, and that full body stands up to game's dense, savoury flesh. Beef, lamb and game are the pairings Vivino drinkers log most often for this wine.
Try with: Venison Stew · Lamb shank · Rack of lamb · More pairings →
Agnolotti del plin in melted butter and cheese-laden risotto coat the palate, and the 2014's chalky, saline acidity from Lazzarito's calcareous-clay soils scrubs it clean. The fat cushions the cru's austere tannin in return.
Try with: Agnolotti del Plin · Gorgonzola, pear, and walnut risotto · More pairings →
Capsaicin amplifies both the 14% alcohol and Lazzarito's angular tannin, turning the wine hard and metallic, while sweet-sour glazes flatten the mature rose-petal aromatics. Save it for collagen and earth, not heat.
Skip with: Lamb bhuna · Szechuan beef · Chirashi · Pairing guide →
Magnums age more slowly than 75cl bottles on their lower oxygen-to-wine ratio, the point of the format for a 2014 already in its window. Corney & Barrow brackets drinking at 2020 to 2034 and ships this bottle brokered in its original wooden case.
Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Barolo DOCG mandates 38 months' ageing with 18 in oak, Serralunga tannin runs deep, and the magnum format slows evolution inside the 2020-2034 window.

Confidence · MediumLazzarito is a named MGA vineyard shaped like an amphitheatre, facing south-west on calcareous-clay soils at 330 to 380 metres. Vietti farms about 2 hectares of Guyot-trained vines averaging over 40 years old, and Wine Advocate notes the site performs best in cool years.
Better than the year's rainy reputation: Wine Advocate scored it 95, Vinous 96 and Decanter 97, and winemaker Luca Currado called it one of the best vintages he had made at the site. The cool season suited an amphitheatre plot that suffers in scorching summers.
A magnum's lower oxygen-to-wine ratio slows ageing, ideal for a vintage already twelve years old. At £247.12 it also works out at £123.56 per 75cl, under the £249.92 to £409.46 asked for the younger 75cl vintages listed here, and it ships in the original wooden case.
Corney & Barrow brackets the window at 2020 to 2034, so it is drinking now, with the magnum format stretching the far end. Expect the peak years around the mid-2020s in this format.
Piedmont's braises and truffle dishes: brasato al Barolo, tajarin with white truffle, porcini risotto, plus roast beef, lamb and venison. Its angular tannin and fresh acidity want protein, fat and earth; avoid chilli heat and sweet-sour sauces.
Hand-picked Nebbiolo ferments for about four weeks on the skins in steel using the traditional submerged-cap method, with malolactic in wood. The wine then ages around 30 months in large oak casks with a small share of barriques before release.
