Guido Porro 2009 Vigna Lazzairasco (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Guido Porro / Vigna Lazzairasco

From Serralunga, this has a classic fragrance of wild cherry, rose petal, truffle, leather and hints of menthol. The palate delivers a juicy core of black cherry, mint and spice. It has a warm midpalate and big but ripe tannins, but it’s a bit shy on acidity—typical for the vintage.
