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 Lamb And Truffles
Barolo's firm tannins balance Lamb And Truffles's richness — the textbook structure-meets-protein match.
Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Truffle And Lamb
Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Truffle And Lamb
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.
Red · Medium · Dry
The classical claret style — Cabernet/Merlot-led blends from Bordeaux, black currant and cedar with serious structure. Cellar-worthy at any quality level.
Why it works with Lamb And Truffles
Red Bordeaux's gentle structure complements Lamb And Truffles's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.
Why it works with Truffle And Lamb
Aged Rioja is the Iberian lamb pairing — cedar, leather, and bright acid.
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 Truffle And Lamb
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit are made for lamb — Rhône or northern New World, take your pick.
