98+ points Luca Gardini: "Serralunga d'Alba area, calcareous-clay soils, a vineyard of great vocation, arranged like an amphitheater. An intense, savory Barolo, with a bouquet of balsamic notes, eucalyptus, red currant, touches of pepper leaf and nutmeg. Savory tannins on the palate, beautiful verticality enhanced by fruity-balsamic return. (Sep 2023)"
98 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Vietti 2019 Barolo Lazzarito is a historic cornerstone wine of this mighty portfolio. It is also one of the Vietti Barolos that consistently delivers extreme quality and pleasure with each new release. Like the other wines presented here, winemaking is straightforward, with submerged cap fermentations lasting 30 to 35 days (although those times were reduced in 2019 because this vintage was not suited to long maceration times). Serralunga d'Alba always delivers power and richness. There are aromas of dried tobacco leaf, perfumed tea, crushed rose and iron ore. The bouquet is extremely expressive. Drink: 2025-2055. (Aug 2023)"
97 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Barolo Lazzarito continues a trend seen in recent years in which the focus has been more about finesse than raw power. Intense red fruit, iron, dried herbs, chalk, dried rose petal and white pepper all run through this deep, virile Barolo. The power and intensity of Serralunga really come alive on the heady, explosive finish. Bright saline notes linger on the deep, resonant finish. A Barolo of raw, unbridled power, the Lazzarito demands patience. Drink: 2027-2044. (Jan 2023)"
96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Another pale ruby Barolo, the 2019 Barolo Lazzarito is from a 2.5-hectare parcel of the cru and reveals a hint of purple flowers, with a mix of red and blue fruit berries. It has more expansiveness on the palate, with more broadness, although it is not weighted. It offers a light balsamic tone, with rosemary and fresh herbs, and is persistent on the long finish. This will benefit from more time in bottle and drink 2026-2046. (May 2023)"
94+ points Ian D'Agata (Terroir Sense): "Deep red. Chamomile and balsamic oils complicate red cherry, plum, graphite, herbs and mushroom aromas and flavours. The finish is very long taut and earthy. Very austere with no easy sweetness, this beautiful wine will develop slowly but is highly typical of this famous Serralunga cru, one of Barolo’s best. Drinking window: 2033-2050. (12/8/23)"
94 points/'#31 Top 100 Wines of 2023'/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "This is the Barolo we have been looking for! Black cherry, warmed spices, crushed stone and dried herbs flow from the glass. The palate is firm and states its desire to take some time in the cellar. The core of fruit is present but reticent while the black tea, anise, pepper and mineral edge are present but want more time. Drink 2028–2045. (Dec 2023)"
94 points James Suckling: "Orange peel with raspberry, crab apple and violet aromas follow through to a medium body, with sage, lavender and raspberry flavors. Firm and racy tannins. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink after 2029 and onwards. (7/28/23)"
