The winemaking traditions of the Porro family have been passed from father to son for four generations. Guido Porro took over from his father in 1985 and hopes that some day his young son Fabio, will join him in the cellar. The vineyards, Lazzairasco, Santa Caterina, and I Pari are located in Serralunga d‘Alba, the "land of Barolo." The Lazzairasco vineyard is approximately 7.5 acres and sits on a steep hillside at about 300-350 meters, sheltered from the wind but fully exposed to the intense summer heat. This is an ideal climate for the Nebbiolo grape, and the wine produced from this site is considered an excellent representative of the varietal. Their cru vineyard in Lazzairasco are some of the finest in all of Barolo.
Piedmont is the most "Frenchified" of all Italian wine regions. The long valleys of the Alpine foothills lead to easier travel to France's southern coast and inland than to the rest of Italy. It is perhaps for this reason that the Piedmontese have long practiced the most refined wine traditions of any Italian region. Terroir-based wisdom trickled down from early French masters (monks, typically) to this area.
Known mostly for their reds (but producing some excellent whites,) from the early ripening Dolcetto grape to the lofty, deep reds of Barolo and Barbaresco crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, these wines are clearly crafted using centuries of terroir-based winemaking.
