"Azienda Agricola Lalú is one of the most exciting and dynamic new estates to be founded in Barolo in recent years. The project is the vision of two friends, Lara Rocchetti & Luisa Sala (La & Lu = Lalú), who met while studying at the renowned University of Pollenzo When they returned to Italy, they worked some harvests at Trediberri, and it was through the Oberto’s at Trediberri. They also worked both at the Reva winery in Barolo as well as at Conterno-Fantino in Monforte d’Alba. They then both worked in Burgundy at both Domaine Lafon in Meursault as well as in Morey St. Denis with Cecile Tremblay.

 Their Le Coste parcel is amongst the higher part of the cru extending up to about 400 meters in elevation and were mostly planted in 1999.
