2019 Barolo Lazzairasco, Guido Porro (6 x Bottle)

Again this is a sub-plot within Lazzarito, this time the vines being closer to Serralunga d'Alba and forming a small amphitheatre lower down the hill. The vines are even older here, averaging 80 years. The salinity of Serralunga clearly comes through; the nose is powerful and beguiling, the palate tightly wound and not giving anything away. Blood orange, a hint of balsamic, iodine, and earth, this is what Serralunga is all about. Turbo-charged intensity suggests this will make seriously old bones, and the length, just like Santa Caterina, is impressive.

Vinous
The 2019 Barolo Vigna Lazzairasco is dark, brooding and not fully expressive, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. Dried cherry, mint, cedar, tobacco, licorice and incense open with great reluctance. Most of the 2019s here are quite open. The Lazzairasco, on the other hand, needs time.
