Had this lovely Barolo at a dinner party I hosted at my home and boy did it deliver. Paired great with the beef I served, but also held up to the secondary meat, pork belly. Pretty traditional, classic version of Barolo.
In the glass: Dark ruby red
Aromas (nose): Leather, mocha aromas with some earthy notes
Flavors (palate): Chocolate-coated cherries flavor with some dried fruit notes
Texture/finish: Medium body, velvety medium finish
Pairing: Grilled or roasted meats (beef, lamb, duck), charcuterie
Wine type: Red wine
Grape: Nebbiolo
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Cost: $75 – $90
Adding the 2013 Giacomo Grimaldi Barolo to my repertoire.
Cheers, Veronique
