Did your high school Italian help you recognize the word truffle? Tartufaia refers to a truffle forest in La Morra that borders Giulia's (aka Barologirl's) vineyards. Barolo is renowned for its "tar and roses" flavors, but Tartufaia has added notes of tobacco, red berries, wet earth, and mint. Though young, you can decant this elegant Barolo for a big winter dinner.
