The family farms plots in Gabutti, Margheria, and Lazzarito, among others, and keeps the operation small and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is their Lazzarito cru — a parcel sitting just below Vietti's celebrated holdings in the same vineyard. Serralunga fruit tends toward structure and power; Lazzarito tempers that with aromatic lift and a more generous midpalate. Wine Enthusiast called it out for its \"pristine red fruits and polished grace,\" noting the wine \"will age with uncommon elegance through the next decade.\" It's the most shimmering and aromatic of Boasso's three Barolos, leaning slightly toward red fruit rather than dark, with refined tannins and a silken texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 vintage delivered what 2019 promised but wrapped in more flesh — the structure is there, but the fruit profile is lush and open rather than austere. Critics across the board have praised 2021 for expressive, age-worthy wines that don't ask you to wait a decade to enjoy them. This one shows dark cherry, plum, dried rose, licorice, and mineral notes, with enough backbone to cellar but enough charm to pull the cork now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-harvested fruit, soft destemming, three weeks on the skins in stainless, then thirty months in decades-old Slavonian oak. The alcohol sits at 15%, but the wine wears it gracefully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark cherry, plum, dried rose, licorice, and mineral notes. Sweet tart cherries with cinnamon, star anise, and dried lavender. Full body, refined tannins, silken texture, long elegant finish. The fruit leans slightly to the red side of dark with a more generous, aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex wine focused on dried cherries, sweet violets, smoky tones and almost meaty depth. Very intense. Firm on the palate with dusty, muscular tannins and crisp acidity, medium to full body and a warming finish. Best after 2027. ~93 James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet tart cherries dance with cinnamon, star anise, and dried lavender, creating a gentle but captivating aromatic array beneath subtle notes of dried rose and clove. The wine glides across the palate with pristine red fruits and polished grace, its refined tannins and silken texture suggesting this bottle will age with uncommon elegance through the next decade. ~91 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Vine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44146754650225,"sku":"JIT-BOALABA21OVW","price":459.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2807\/6776\/files\/2021Boasso_Lazzarito_BaroloDOCG12x750ml.webp?v=1788301129","url":"https:\/\/onevinewines.com\/products\/2021-boasso-lazzarito-barolo-docg-12x750ml","provider":"One Vine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
