Italian Food Italian Food Quick/Easy Recipes Le Basi Classic Recipes From Kyle Phillips, your Guide to Italian Food But I have spent much of the week with a friend and colleague, Carlo Macchi, tasting Barolo and Barbaresco, Southern Piemonte's signature wines. The Barbaresco is the 2007 vintage, and I found much to enjoy. The Barolo is 2006, which i had expected good (great) things from, but have instead found many very ripe (plum/prune fruit), overoaked wines, and this is not that I look for in a Barolo. I'll post a selection soon, but have to go back to Carlo's to finish tasting tomorrow.

The result is extraordinarily tasty and tender. Also, how to serve a large fish at table. Vegetables and Farro, Verdurata di Farro Carlo served something even simpler than this the other day -- Farro with chopped carrots, celery and herbs. And it was very good!
