Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Sep 14
Aromatically beguiling and deceptively medium in body, the 2010 Barolo Vigna Lazzairasco is constantly changing in the glass. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, menthol, tobacco and licorice are some of the many notes that inform this dark, mysterious Barolo. Today, the 2010 remains firm, unyielding and classically austere in the best sense of the term. Readers who like traditionally made Barolo will adore the 2010.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
