Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2017, Ettore Germano
Barolo DOCG - Strutturato e Nobile style, Nebbiolo 100%
Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2017, Ettore Germano
The Barolo Riserva Lazzarito 2017 by Ettore Germano is a monument to the sculptural nobility of one of the hottest and most mineral crus of Serralunga d'Alba. In a dry year like 2017, Sergio Germano's hand worked masterfully to preserve the verticality of Nebbiolo. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of deep complexity: notes of marasca cherries in spirit, licorice root, and scorched earth merge with hints of graphite, medicinal herbs, undergrowth, and a balsamic trace of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is broad and powerful, supported by a noble acidic backbone and sculptural, dense, and solid tannins, typical of the Lazzarito terroir, closing on an endless, savory finish of absolute nobility.
