For the asparagus: Heat the grill to medium-high.
Carefully wrap 2 asparagus at a time with 1 or 2 pieces of lardo, overlapping as you go. (If your lardo is cut paper-thin, then 2 will be easier to work with. If thicker, then one should be sufficient.)
Lay the asparagus cross-wise across the grill to keep it from falling through the grates. Grill, turning occasionally, until just tender and charred and the lardo has rendered and started to become crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside. Drizzle with vinaigrette before serving.
For advanced preparation, make this vinaigrette in a jar with a lid. Add all of the ingredients and give it a shake!

I couldn't get the lardo, so I used thinly sliced pancetta, instead; but that was the only substitution I made. These bundles of green glory were utterly fabulous, I must say. The asparagus I grilled inside, on a cast iron grill pan, on the stove, & I drizzled with the lovely caper vinaigrette right off the grill. I did try a bit of the first bundle, sans vinaigrette, for comparison's sake; you must use the vin. Trust me. The bundles will still be tasty, but that vin adds a whole new layer of earthy complexity to each bite, & it's so worth the extra effort to make the vinaigrette. If you have people that cringe at the idea of capers, don't tell then what's in it; just tell then it's oil & vinegar. They'll thank you, later.
