Description:
The King of Wine in Italy is Barolo. It is long lived, a magnificent wine that ages to silky rose petals. It is made from Nebbiolo grapes. It is rare to make a really fine Nebbiolo, and this is one of our very best. It is delicate cherry with enough tannin to let you know it is serious. With this balance of fruit and tannin it is set to age another 5 years to reach the rose petal stage. We have had an excellent 30-year-old Barolo that few wines could match. But that is an investment in the future. If you can put wine away and forget about it, this is the variety to try. The wines are unforgettable. Right now, however, it is absolutely the best wine to pair with lamb chops braised in the mirepoix with rosemary. Some wines just reach out and tell you, "This is it!" This is one of those pairings. If you recoil from lamb, find a better source of meat. It can be delicate and wonderful, just like the wine.
