2017 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Wine – Critically Acclaimed [JD97 JS96 V95 WA94 WS94]

Vietti Barolo Lazzarito 2017

Crafted in Serralunga d’Alba’s sun-drenched Lazzarito vineyard, this Piedmont Nebbiolo embodies the essence of Italy’s revered Barolo region. Aged 30 months in French oak barrels, the 2017 vintage unfolds with layered complexity—think wild strawberries, crushed rose petals, and hints of cedar-spiced leather. Beneath its elegant floral bouquet lies a powerful structure of velvety tannins and vibrant minerality, reflecting Serralunga’s iron-rich terroir.

Critics unanimously celebrate its exceptional balance (scoring 94-97 points), noting its deceptive approachability now yet colossal aging potential. Decant to unlock dark cherry nuances intertwined with tobacco leaf and truffle undertones. While enjoyable after 2024, cellaring until 2030+ will reveal profound depth—making it a coveted collector’s gem for enthusiasts seeking cellar-worthy Italian reds.

At 14.5% ABV, this limited-production wine represents Vietti’s mastery in harmonizing intensity with finesse. As part of our Fine & Rare collection, it offers unparalleled investment value—a testament to Barolo’s timeless allure.

– Decant 2+ hours for current drinking
