It’s “Barolo Week” I attended, along with a group of industry specialists, a wine and food pairing lunch at Eataly, Toronto to celebrate Barolo. We tasted six amazing vintage Barolos which paired beautifully with Eataly’s specialty dishes [listed below] while listening all about Fontanafredda’s “King of the Wine” and “Wine of Kings.”
It was a great experience to taste Barolo different styles and vintages, and at the same time compare new-school and old-school styles.
For me, “the wine of the day” became Barolo Proprieta in Fontanafredda 2018 for its fresh, and rich, with notes of licorice and pink pepper on the palate with distinct floral and red fruit notes on the nose.
Wines Tasted:
– Barolo Serralunga Organic, 2018
– Barolo Proprieta in Fontanafredda, 2018
– Barolo Vigna La Rosa, 2018
– Barolo Vigna La Rosa, 2016
– Barolo Vigna La Rosa, 1996
– Barolo Riserva, 2010
Eataly’s Dishes:
