Barolo

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.

Why it works with Crisp Braised Pork Shoulder

Barolo's weight matches Crisp Braised Pork Shoulder's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Crisp Braised Pork Shoulder

A mid-weight Syrah/shiraz flatters Crisp Braised Pork Shoulder without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.
