A perfect Night in one of my favourite restaurant @Ilversodelghiottone with friends. Battuta al coltello, Ravioli del Plin, Tajarin and eggs everything paired with Alba white truffle. Finding this precious tuber seems very hard this year; Our trifolao have found less then 100gr in one week.
As usual Gil has been amazing in the kitchen and service at the table friendly and perfect.
With appetizer and pasta we drank Nebiolo Martinenga from Marchesi di Gresy winery, right choice we made, then Aldo Conterno Barolo 2005 and 2004 eating meat; 2005 vintage for me has been better but both bottle were good. Traditional production without barrique (french oak), just 30 moths in big barrels, taste was simply but perfect balance with fruit and spices in your palate.

M, isn’t 2005 Barolo (only 6 1/2 years old) a little too young to be drinking now? How were the tannins?
… I think from 5 to 50 years old Barolo is good anyway…
Nothing like providing a nice narrow range. So, if I may paraphrase you, “If you see one, drink it!” Now that is good advice! But I had better be prepared to like tannin if I choose them too young!
