stewed with olives over polenta. I had veal and ricotta polpettine (meatballs). The $40 Langhe Nebbiolo was the perfect complement. After, we had biscotti with Vin Santo and a pannacotta. Then an espresso (coretto con sambuca) and a...

I’m a fan of the Bordeaux stems. Very versatile, though we also have Burgundy stems for pinot noir and nebbiolo, so I can see the wisdom in recommending the syrah stems.

Nebbiolo or Barbera (from Piedmont) would be my first choice Southern Rhone would be next

-bodied Italian red that showcases the fruit, with some slight spiciness. Nebbiolo-based wines from the Piedmont are the first thing that comes to mind (Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, a mature Barolo), as well as some Southern Italian...

1 was the gnocchi. good, solid. the wine was a nebbiolo. good, not especially intriguing, just a good wine for conversation. basically, we all agreed, it was a pretty okay place, maybe slightly above average.

Try Antico Arco. It’s way up in the hills above Trastevere so you’ll need a taxi to get there. It’s run by three friends who love wine (yes, the choices are terrific) and the cooking is terrific. I started with...

World Way," the best Barolos still need 8 to 10 years AT LEAST to show their best. If you think Cabernet Sauvignon is tannic, you’e seen nothing compared to Nebbiolo! and especially the structured way the best winemakers in...
