Barolo isn’t just about the old guard anymore—and Lalu is proof. This is a single-cru Barolo from Le Coste di Monforte, made by a new-generation winemaker who’s dialing into site, nuance, and Nebbiolo’s more soulful side.

The 2020 vintage is young, sure, but already showing off. You get all the classic Barolo markers—rose petals, tar, dried cherry, a little anise—but with a texture that’s more glide than grit. There's power, no doubt (this is Monforte, after all), but it’s the kind that simmers rather than shouts.

Farming is organic, winemaking is low-intervention, and oak is used with a light hand—just enough to round the edges without blurring the detail. It's Barolo with clarity, tension, and a long view. The kind of bottle that makes Burgundy drinkers raise an eyebrow and say “wait… this is Nebbiolo?”

Definitely decant it if you're drinking it now—or toss it in the cellar and thank yourself later. Perfect with truffle pasta, game, or just the best dinner you cook all month.
