Mirafiore Barolo Lazzarito 2018

Tasting Notes

This is the first vintage where the estate is certified organic. Still ruby in the glass, the wine starts with a poised nose of intense pot pourri, restrained dried cherry fruit and a whiff of tar. Very elegant, it features dense, velvety tannins, super-refined and umami, woven with refreshing acidity and assertive liquorice and sweet violet flavours. The tannins develop a dustiness on the finish, combined with pipe tobacco notes. A great wine. Drinking window: 2023-2038. Part of Barolo 2018 Vintage Report Plus Top-Scoring Wines.
