"Elevation and limestone soils make
Lazzarito one of Serralunga's finest and
most long-lived sites. Aromatic Intensity
and vigorous red fruit on the nose. Firm,
concentrated and taut - discreet power,
though the tannins are not too dominant.
Tightly wound and youthful, this is
harmonious and surprisingly forward but
very well balanced and long, thanks to its
fine acidity. Drink 2021-2035 " Decanter 95 points.
The Barolo Lazzarito of Casa E. of Mirafiore was born in the vineyards located in Lazzarito, in one of the most important cru of the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba.
It is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, which undergo destemming and crushing with frequent daily pumping over, to optimize the extraction of tannins and color. Fermentation takes place in cement containers at a controlled temperature of 20 ° C. Then the wine is aged in oak barrels for about 2 years and for a further period in the bottle.
The Lazzarito is characterized by a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose opens with rich aromas of ripe plums, enriched by pleasant spicy notes of tobacco, mint and cinnamon. On the palate it results with a very thick and dense tannin texture that gives the wine a sensation of pleasant softness and harmony.
Perfect to accompany red meats, it is ideal paired with aged cheeses.
