Tasting Notes

Vietti Lazzarito Barolo 2010 is a distinguished expression from one of Italy’s most revered Barolo producers. Recognized as a cru specialist since the 1960s, Vietti crafts this exceptional Barolo from the renowned Lazzarito vineyard, a site celebrated for yielding wines of rare finesse and complexity.

This 2010 vintage showcases the elegance and depth that this prestigious region is famed for. The year 2010 is often remembered for its ideal growing conditions in Piedmont, combining balanced temperatures and a long, slow ripening period that enhanced the structure and aromatic purity of Nebbiolo grapes.

Rich with layered aromas of ripe cherries, rose petals, and subtle hints of truffle and spices, the Lazzarito Barolo 2010 offers a refined palate where vibrant acidity meets firm, silky tannins. This wine evolves beautifully in the glass, revealing nuances of licorice, tobacco leaf, and delicate earthiness, promising excellent aging potential.

Highly acclaimed by critics, this wine earned 96 Points from Decanter, affirming its outstanding quality and stylistic precision. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this bottle represents a unique opportunity to experience a benchmark Barolo that highlights Vietti’s mastery and commitment to terroir-driven winemaking.

Perfectly suited to pair with classic Piedmontese cuisine such as truffle-infused dishes, rich meats, and aged cheeses, the Vietti Lazzarito Barolo 2010 embodies the heritage and sophistication of one of Italy’s most iconic wine regions.

Critic Scores

Closed still but with emerging notes of violet, blackberry and truffle. Waves of succulent fruit with chalky and earthy tones. Lovely structure with very fine tannins. Fabulous. (MG)

The 2010 Barolo Lazzarito is impeccably polished, silky and refined, especially for a Serralunga Barolo. Mint, violets, black fruit, smoke and deep layers of spices are some of the many notes that flesh out on the inviting, textured finish. Today, the Lazzarito is incredibly primary to the point of being raw and undeveloped, but it is explosive, bursting with energy and flat-out great. This is also the first recent vintage I can remember tasting where the French oak is more in line with the other single-vineyard Barolos.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
