Barolo tasting at Back Room Wines

Back Room Wines pours Barolo wines on Friday, May 10, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Home to the Nebbiolo grape, Barolo became a DOCG in the 1980s. While enjoying a long history of winemaking, the region went through multiple paradigm shifts and struggles as each generation sought to implement winemaking innovations. It took a new generation of vintners nicknamed the “Barolo Boys” and the rise of the slow food movement for the world to fully see the beauty of Barolo. The cost is $30.
