2016 | Mirafiore | Barolo Lazzarito Casa E. di

Offering a sumptuous bouquet of ripe plums, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms. Very dense, closely-woven tannins on the palate.

Reviews:

• Falstaff: Radiant, shining ruby core. Aromas of tomato skins, blood oranges, then youthful raspberries and some geranium leaves. A palate with clear red berry fruit concentration, polished and vivid and a salty texture. Elegant with a lightness to the finish.

• Wine Enthusiast: Combining finesse, structure and fragrance, this radiant red offers enticing scents of perfumed berry, wild herb, clove and a balsamic whiff of camphor. On the chiseled, well-balanced palate, firm refined tannins and fresh acidity accompany juicy black cherry, baking spice, crushed mint and tobacco. It's both concentrated yet weightless.

Producer Information

Casa E. Di Mirafiore is a historic Italian wine producer located at Serralunga d'Alba's esteemed Fontanafredda estate in Piedmont. It produces a range of traditional Langhe wines from organically-grown native grape varieties including Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera. The primary focus is Barolo; the estate produces two single-vineyard cru Barolos from Lazzarito and Paiagallo, as well as a Barolo Riserva, aged 36 months in barrel and 12 months in bottle. The Nebbiolo grapes for each wine grow from Serralunga d'Alba's limestone, grey marl, and sandy soils and are picked by hand at harvest. The grapes ferment in stainless steel, then undergo 30 to 40 days of maceration on the skins. Mirafiore also produces Barbera d'Alba and Langhe Nebbiolo, both aged 12 months in barrel and six in bottle. A Dolcetto d'Alba is aged six months in cask and three months in bottle.
