## Summary

Barolo from Lazzarito, mid-hillside at 350-400m and considered the estate's most prestigious vineyard, aged in 2,000-14,000 litre barrels for two years plus further bottle age.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with garnet highlights, a sumptuous bouquet of ripe plums, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms. Very dense, closely woven tannins, soft and balanced.

## Food pairings

Big red meat dishes and medium to mature cheeses; also good after-dinner conversation.
