DRUNKEN BEEF

There is nothing better than Braised Beef in Barolo Wine to warm your soul. This beef is marinated in Barolo and spices then braised with fresh vegetables and served with a rich sauce. This is a classic Piedmont recipe where beef and Barolo wines are largely produced.

Barolo is a section of Piedmont, Italy that produces some of the best wines in Europe. Typically Barolo wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes which are grown in around 3000 acres of land and is produced in various towns throughout the region.

The combination of wine, spice and fresh vegetables make this Braised Beef in Barolo Wine a special dish for the whole family. Enjoy it with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or serve it on a bed of soft polenta. Either way you sure to enjoy this traditional Italian dish.
