Barolo is a prestigious, full bodied Italian DOCG red wine from Piedmont, Italy. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, it is known as the “King of Wines” and is characterized by high tannins, high acidity and aromas of rose, tar and cherry. Its bold structure makes it exceptionally age worthy and it is ideally paired with rich foods such as braised meats, risotto and ahrd cheeses.
