Barolo wines are derived from the Nebbiolo grape and produced in Italy's Piedmont region. This is truly one of the world's best red wines and is an example of a wine that gets better and better with age.

1. Beni di Batasiolo Barolo 2000 (Piedmont) $38

A classic Barolo, with a decent price - a fine intro. to one of Italy's dominating red wines.

2. Boroli Barolo 1999 (Piedmont) $38

A reasonably priced Barolo with deep cherry flavors, a medium-bodied wine with tamed tannins and a soft finish. Nicely balanced throughout.

3. Famiglia Anselma Barolo 2000 (Piedmont) $45

Another phenomenal wine from the 2000 vintage. This wine boasts big berries, firm tannins, is full-bodied, and creates a long-bold finish. A very solid Barolo.

4. Vietti Barolo Rocche 2000 (Piedmont) $65

May be tough to find, but well worth the hunt. This wine is on the upper-end of my typical recommendations, but tastes like it could sell for twice the price. Can we say succulent raspberries and a satin finish?
