For Barolo, 2021 is considered an exceptionally good year with powerful, still youthful tannins and a slower ripening pace. This characterizes wines with a lot of structure and depth, made for development in the cellar, but which can already present beautifully with some time to breathe in a decanter.
Classic pairings for this Barolo include braised beef or veal shanks, game dishes, and mushroom dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. This vintage has the structure to effortlessly support rich, slow-cooked dishes.
