Barolo has been called the “king of wines,” and the “wine of kings.” Barolo is a deliciously rich and deep red wine, very dry, high in acidity, alcohol and tannin, made from the unique Nebbiolo grape in the Piedmont region of North West Italy.
Barolo is world famous for its rich finesse that can be as fragrant as a rose or as savory as black truffles. It is a pale yet powerful red that can be extremely coveted thanks to its mysterious ability to reflect the character of its individual terrain.

True-blooded Barolos, always demand years in the cellar. In its youth, it is classically tannic and austere, but given time, often a decade or more, the tannins soften, releasing a gorgeous perfume and flavors often described as licorice, tar, truffles, violets and roses.
D-WINE DISH OF THE MONTH Kobe Steak from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan according to strict rules. This meat is a delicacy renowned for its flavor, tenderness and well-marbled texture. Kobe beef is considered the quintessence of fine dining for meat lovers. Kobe is the king of prime beef raised in feeding farms on a diet of nutrition-rich feed supplements resulting in its superior flavor, tenderness and high amount of intramuscular fat, providing a marbled appearance. Rumor has it, that Tajima-gyu virgin cows from which the kobe beef comes from, are given a special treatment including listening to music, a daily body massage and beer to drink.
