Description
Red Wine by Guido Porro from Piedmont, Italy. Guido Porro must have one of the shortest commutes in the business. All he has to do is step out the cellar door and he’s standing in one of the most famous crus in Barolo: Lazzarito. The Nebbiolo vines for the Vigna Lazzairasco, Porro’s oldest, are ideally situated with a southeastern exposure; they soak up the morning sun but are spared the worst of the afternoon heat. The 2014 is a Barolo for near-term drinking. Wait two to four years, or drink it now, absolutely guilt-free. I love the coolness on the nose-think mint or eucalyptus-as well as the blood orange and floral notes. Open and charming are two adjectives not normally associated with the fearsome Barolo, but sometimes you just luck out.
