Tender yet flavorful, Braised Beef in Barolo is a classic recipe from Piedmont. The secret to its deliciousness? Marinating with wine and slow cooking. Although traditionally prepared with Barolo, the braised beef also pairs well with Ruché. Its aromatic notes harmonize beautifully with the braised meat, enhancing the scents of the spices and herbs used in the preparation.
