| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Made from the Nebbiolo grape, Barolo is the king of Italian noble red wines. Yet it’s not a blockbuster” in the California Cabernet sense. Instead, it’s gentle tannins, medium body and intriguing dusty dried-cherry aromas, spices and flavors compel one to enjoy a meal. This medium-bodied wine shows a limpid, translucent garnet red color, while the palate follows through with well-evolved dark and red fruits hinting at dried cranberries. Well-composed, well-knit, beautifully structured, and altogether gorgeous in the glass, the wine is classically Italian. Fruit is restrained, not forward. One would never mistake it for a California red wine. Veglio Michelino & Figlio is a small, family-owned and –operated vineyard in Piemonte. Serve moderately cool, about 65ºF/17ºC, in large tulip-shaped glasses. A keeper if well cellared, this one could go on for another decade. This is an astounding value in an expensive genre. One of the most food-companionable wines, it deserves pairing with uncomplicated dishes so that dining focuses on the wine: black olives; terrines; rosemary brochette of chicken livers; roast chicken; pasta dishes with meat sauces; game; duck; grilled pork chop; veal roast, roast turkey; roasted vegetable medley; eggplant dishes; firm, aged cheeses (Piave Nudo Stravecchio, for instance).
