Vietti – Barolo Lazzarito – 2019

Lazzarito, a cru located in the central area of Serralunga d’Alba, is a fabulous southwest facing basin with limestone-clay soil that gives wines of innate power and expressiveness. The Vietti family owns about 2 hectares, the vines are about 40 years old and the wines produced best reflect the nature of this great cru, a powerful Barolo with the classic stiff tannins we expect from this area.

Description

We are talking about the end of the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti founded the winery in the small town of Castiglione Falletto, immediately realizing the great potential that territory could have. From 1919 his son Mario began to produce the first wines. The winery’s history, however, was marked by the great winemaker Alfredo Currado, the first ever to vinify the individual vineyards individually, and in 1961 the Barolo “Rocche di Castiglione” was thus released on the market.
Today the winery is one of the most important in the entire Barolo area, in fact since 2016 it has been purchased by the American Krause Holdings, allowing the family to expand their estate while continuing to produce wines of great territoriality and value.
