The grapes are selected from the single vineyard Lazzarito in Serralunga d'Alba, which has 4.500 plants by hectare and with an age of 39 years. The surface is of 1.7 hectares with a low yields of 26 hl/ha. Calcareous-clay soil. The grapes are harvested and gently pressed; their juice ferments for 27 days in stainless steel tanks at 30-32 C (86-90 F).Daily open air pumping-over using the old system of the 'submerged cap.' Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. Lazzarito vineyard is one of the most famous 'crus' of Serralunga d'Alba. It's our most modern interpretation of Barolo.
Sipping Fine Wine
From Serralunga area, aged in oak for 30 months, medium a Ruby with aromas of dark fruit, spice & leather notes. On the palate ripe black fruit flesh with blackberry preserves, citrus, earthy and spice notes. Nice soft tannic with fruit and oak finish, long ending with good structure and oaky forest floor character. Very nice, but pricy. Tasting Sample.
