Guido Porro Vigna Lazzairasco, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 Tuna and Salmon Sashimi it is ruby red leadingThis is a superb wine, tasted immediately after the more precocious, younger vine, redder fruited S. Caterina. Full bodied as any Barolo is, but savory, taut and detailed, which only the best examples are. Extreme focus on pithy, beautifully shaped chamois tannins. Darker cherry, thyme, leather, tapenade and forestry notes of spruce, as well as more exotic hints of sandalwood, with a campfire allure lingering long. This is an excellent showing.
