Top 4 Barolo Wine Recommendations

By Stacy Slinkard, About.com

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?
