Guido Porro "Vigna Lazzairasco" Barolo 2019

94 Points Decanter

The small Guido Porro winery offers some of the best value for money in Serralunga – if not all of Barolo. The Lazzairasco vineyard is made up of old vines averaging around 80 years, forming a small amphitheatre within the Lazzarito MGA in Serralunga. Matured in large barrels, it has a rich red and black cherry aroma outlined by some smokiness and damp earth. Intense and with good concentration, it has a peppery attack followed by a wave of fresh acidity and beautifully poised sweet cherry and blackberry fruits. The mid-palate is stony and even shows a touch of iron, leading to a persistent, fresh saline finish which carries the fruit and spice.
