Barolo DOCG Lazzarito Vietti 2016
The wine
This is a floral and aromatic wine with an enchanting bouquet. A delicious cuvée with a deep, red colour, and notes of fig and prune. On the palate it has exceptional power, bringing a gentle sweetness and a lingering finish that caresses the palate. Luca Currado and his wife Elena put their all into making this cuvée the signature of the Lazzarito terroir in Serralunga d’Alba. The vines are around 37 years old and are planted in clay-chalk soil exposed to the south-west. Once sorted, the crushed grapes ferment for 4 weeks in stainless steel vats before maturing in oak barrels.
About the Producer Vietti
In the Vietti family since the 19th century, four generations have successfully brought their estate to top of its game in Piedmont. Alfredo Currado's innovation has attracted fans from all over the world. While the trend of standardising wines was peaking, the Vietti estate seized a golden opportunity to stand out from the crowd by offering very distinctive wines, single-parcel cuvées, and a white wine made from Arnéis, an indigenous white grape that had fallen into obscurity.
In 2016, the Krause family acquired the estate with the intention of expanding it with new prestigious crus in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Today, they remain committed to preserving the identity and values that have characterised the Vietti estate since it was founded.
The Vietti estate cultivates 75 hectares of vines spread across the Langhe, Roero, Asti and Colli Tortonesi regions, an area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014.
