Barolo, made from Nebbiolo, is a powerful, aromatic red wine known for its firm tannins, high acidity, and notes of tar, roses, and cherry. It pairs beautifully with rich Asian dishes like Peking duck, slow-cooked Taiwanese beef noodle soup, or hearty Korean galbi, where its structure can complement the fat and umami.
