Organoleptic characteristics Intense ruby red with garnet hues. On the nose hints of red fruits, such as strawberry and cherry, and a light spiciness reminiscent of pepper. On the palate a fine wine, but at the same time elegant and characterised by power. On the palate fullness, elegance and taut, persistent tannin, long and fine taste. Perfect pairing: Barolo par excellence goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese main courses of meat such as boiled meats and stews. Spanning the world's traditions, we find goulash in Eastern Europe, entrecôte in France and reindeer stew, Poronkaristys, in Finland. In Norway, on the other hand, it can be combined with fårikål, a meat stew accompanied by cabbage. Staying in Europe, Barolo goes well with a typical Greek dish, souvlaki, a skewer of meat and vegetables. Going to Japan instead, we think of gyoza (fried dumplings filled with spring onion, marinated pork and spices). Moving to the United States of America, beef (angus, wagyu, ox nostral, longhorn) in the brisket cut. But if you have the pleasure, even a simple 'special' toast is perfect!
