Barolo Lazzarito Riserva, Germano, Ettore 2015

Extremely pale and brick coloured, typical of Serralunga, this is intensely scented with macerated violets, roses, blood orange and rhubarb root. The palate is fiercely fresh, with a red berry character and full body with a lot of weight. Ripe, velvety tannins and lifted acidity give a tense, elegant style, and it ends with fragrant fresh fruit - promising for a long cellaring. Like Gabutti and Parafada, Lazzarito is one of the oldest and best-known crus in Serralunga. Coming from a very old vineyard, the grapes are macerated for 50 -60 days with several pumpovers to aid maximum extraction, then aged in 20hl oak vessels for 36 months. (Drink between 2021-2045)
