Suggested pairings for Barolo typically include rich and hearty dishes, which balance the wine’s robust structure, high tannins, and acidity. Recommended matches include braised beef, truffled risotto, or aged cheeses, particularly strong cheeses like Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano. The wine also pairs beautifully with game meats, veal, osso buco, and traditional Piedmontese dishes like brasato al Barolo (braised meat).
A perfect match to enhance the wine’s complexity.
The 2020 Barolo vintage is noted for producing mid-weight wines characterised by balance, freshness, and elegance rather than sheer power. Though the growing season was generally warm and presented some challenges such as frost in April, hailstorms in June, and a significant rain event in early October, the summer was moderate without severe heat spikes. Winemakers’ skill was particularly relevant in adapting to the weather challenges, and the resulting wines offer excellent aging potential, though they are considered more approachable and drinkable in their youth compared to some other vintages.
