- RedBarolo di SerralungaDOCG · 2021 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks thermoregulated at 28°C, with frequent daily pumping over for a total period of 15-20 days. Subsequently, the wine matures in new oak barrels for a period of 3 years. Without undergoing any filtration operation, the wine continues to perfect in the bottle. Raspberry, sour cherry, and pomegranate burst onto the palate, intermingling with a fascinating array of mixed spices and wild herbs. The wine is rich and lush, with flavors of licorice root and other bark-like elements adding depth and complexity. The tannins are well-managed, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit.

Grapes & tasting notes
With a maturation of 24 months in oak barrels and subsequent refinement in the bottle, the Barolo Lazzarito displays a deep garnet red color with reflections that tend to turn orange with aging. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe fruit such as cherry and plum, followed by hints of tobacco, leather, and light spicy notes of vanilla and pepper. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet harmonious, with well-structured tannins and a long persistence that gives way to an aromatic complexity reminiscent of licorice and cocoa. It is a wine that promises excellent aging potential.
