Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2016, Ettore Germano
Monumental and deeply mineral profile. On the nose, black fruits, graphite, licorice, and iron notes emerge. On the palate, it is powerful and strict, characterized by a very dense sculptural tannin and a noble freshness that ensures a longevity of rare nobility; an endless and savory finish.
Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2016, Ettore Germano
The Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2016 by Ettore Germano is a monument to the sculptural nobility of one of the most iconic and vigorous crus of Serralunga d'Alba, expressed in a vintage of masterful perfection. This Riserva represents the pinnacle of Sergio Germano's production, where the strength of the terroir is elevated to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of monumental complexity: notes of blackberry, black plum, and withered violet merge with deep scents of graphite, brown tobacco, undergrowth, and a trace of sanguine and balsamic aromas of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is austere and imposing, supported by a noble acidic backbone and sculptural tannins, dense and tight, requiring time to reveal their velvety nobility, concluding on an endless, savory finish of absolute nobility.
