Description
“Lasarin” in this wine’s name comes from local dialect, meaning “a little La Serra”. This wine is a blend of the younger vines of Brunate in La Serra, which give depth and direction on the palate. Half the wine comes from fruit grown in the sandy soils of Neviglie, which lend softness, perfume, and a gleaming fruit crunch. This is a bright, spicy and purposeful Nebbiolo, with freshness, a creamy palate, and zippy tannins.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Marcarini
Few views in Barolo can compete with the one from Marcarini’s terrace in La Morra. Encompassing most of the region’s communes and vineyards, one only has to look south-east to see Barolo’s modest size, cradled in the Italian Alps. It is fitting that Marcarini occupies this prime location; the winery is built underneath La Morra’s medieval watchtower, a signpost to the Marchetti family cantina that’s visible across the region.
