2020 Guido Porro - Barolo DOCG Vigna Lazzairasco (750ml)
This is one of the most charming young Baroli I’ve enjoyed from Guido Porro in recent years. Incredibly succulent, with generous acidity and beautifully integrated tannins, the 2020 Vigna Lazzairasco is already an approachably grand rosso. Don’t hesitate to pop the cork today and pour it alongside a nice sage and butternut squash risotto or roast quail.
