Favorites Moments from our 2017 Trip
The Barolo Grill staff makes its annual summer trek to Italy, visiting spectacular food and wine establishments. During the summer of 2017 we ventured to the classic wine regions of Umbria, Toscana, and Piemonte. In Umbria, we discovered the charm of Orvieto and the uniqueness of Montefalco and Torgiano. While in Toscana, we soaked in the history of the epic wines of Chianti and Montalcino. We ended our journey in majestic Piemonte; first with a visit to Canelli for sparkling wine, then venturing into the heart of Barolo and Barbaresco. This page features an outstanding selection of wines for you to explore from properties we visited in our travels

Champagne
In Champagne, there is a distinction that separates wine production into two major categories that a wine producer may follow. Récoltant-Manipulant Champagne Houses (Grower-Producers) - producers that make wines only from grapes that they farm exclusively from their own land. Because their sparkling wines are crafted with grapes from specific parcels of land and blended in small lots, they tend to taste very distinct, and different every year. Négociant-Manipulant Champagne Houses (often Grande Marque Producers) - the vast majority of Champagne produced, close to 90%, fall under this category. These producers are often much larger than Grower-Producers, and are usually easily recognizable brands – they may use grapes sourced by other vineyards to make their wines, and usually focus on blending grapes from different regions and vintages to produce a consistent taste every year

White Wines of Italy
Alto Adige
This quiet bilingual Alpine region of the South Tyrol and Italy's most Northern Province produces outstanding and familiar varietal white wines such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvigon Blanc in addition to very interesting wines from Müller Thurgau, Kerner and Gewurztraminer. In Terlano, wine growing goes back to pre-Roman times. Thanks to its fine climate and location above the flood plain, the area around Settequerce, San Maurizio and Gries was ideally suited to human settlement. Archeological finds, including ladles and bronze vessels from the 5th to the 4th centuries B.C., are indicative of early wine growing activity
Friuli-Venezia-Giulia
In this northeastern region bordering Austria and Slovenia, the hilly zones of Collio and Colli Orientali are producing some Italy's finest whites. Many varietals are produced here with great success, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Grigio. Equally intriguing wines are Tocai (which, beginning with the 2007 vintage, is known as Friulano) and Ribolla Gialla

Piemonte
In this northwestern region bordering France, 'Piemonte' literally translates to 'the foot of the mountains' as the Alps separate here France and Italy. The lower and more regional foothills known as the 'Langhe' are soils mostly reserved for red wines. However, adjacent to this area are the sandy hills of the Roero producing fragrant Arneis and Favorita. International variatels are made often by producers wanting to make an impression on the wine world with their particular styles. The Cortese grape, famous in the town of Gavi, is often fresh and fruity, and Timorasso yields rich, textural whites from Tortona

Umbria
Umbria is a region much better known for red wine, but several great whites are made. Orvieto (also the name of a popular tourist town) was traditionally produced in a slightly sweet style, but is now usually a dry wine. In addition to local varietals like Grechetto and Trebbiano, some wineries have introduced international varietals with great success

Barolo
Many agree that Italy's most important red wine is named after the small town of Barolo in the Langhe hills. A wine of great tradition with a somewhat troubled past, it is now produced with modern methods that yield a fresher, cleaner, and more balanced wine. Five villages produce distinct styles: Barolo and La Morra are most delicate and perfumed, Monforte and Serralunga are richer and more structured, while the wines of Castiglione Falletto strike a balance between the two. Styles have emerged that can be classified as Traditionalist or Modernist, though many have settled somewhere between the two in the past few years. Elio Altare is one of Italy's greatest winemakers; his wines have come to define the changes that have taken place in Barolo over the last 30 years. He inspired a generation of younger producers to commit to quality in the vineyards and bottle their own estate wines. The changes Elio championed in the 70's: green harvesting, organic farming, and shorter macerations are commonplace today and have made Barolo a more rich, diverse and higher quality wine producing region. Altare Barolo, Barolo Arborina and Barolo Brunate are among the most prized wines of the area and put the supple, fragrant qualities of the commune of La Morra on display. In 2005 Elio released his first vintage of Barolo Cerretta, from the Serralunga commune in the eastern valley, where the soils influence the wines in very different ways than La Morra. It will be great to witness his hands and philosophies at play with vineyards from another commune. One of the most outspoken and dedicated producers in Barolo was, up until his recent devastating passing, Domenico Clerico. He had a very strong personality and was born in Monforte d'Alba, the Barolo comune that is known for producing some of the strongest and most structured wines of Barolo. The soils in the eastern valley of Barolo are less fertile and are a collection of calcareous marl, limestone and sandstone. The Nebbiolo that grows in these parts has more color, aging potential and is bolder. In addition to having a larger-than-life personality, Domenico was a farmer's farmer. These are some of the boldest and explosive wines you will ever have. The most famous cru of the winery is Ginestra. This bowl-shaped vineyard has a steep head wall and is protected from the northern winds; it is just beautiful to see. Pajana is a little-known sub plot of Ginestra where the exposure is a touch more easterly and the resulting wine tends to be a bit more elegant. Percristina (named for his daughter who tragically passed away at a young age) comes from a plot in the cru of Mosconi, also in Monteforte. Yields at this estate are low and the viticulture is strict in terms of pruning and care, everything is farmed organically. Aldo Conterno is the son of the Giacomo Conterno, and the brother of Giovanni. He worked with his father and brother for years, but decided to create a winery of his own in 1969. He purchased a farm in the Monforte zone of Barolo, and has been making wine with his sons in this area ever since. Monforte is known for the famous Bussia zone, an area of vineyards known to make structured and age-worthy Barolos that manage to offer elegance and approachability not commonly found in these great wines. The classic Barolo is a blend of younger vines. Cicala, Colonnello, and Romirasco are all separate single vineyards. 'Granbussia' is a Riserva made in only the very best vintages. The wines are made in a traditional style, except for the use of rotofermenters, which help to extract more color and flavor. The wines of Giacomo Conterno are some of the most traditional and long-lived in Piemonte. Roberto Conterno, Giacomo's grandson, currently makes the wine, but stylistically, little has changed over the generations. Purchased in 1974 and first bottled in 1978, Cascina Francia is the name of the 34.6 acre vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, from which only two Barolos are produced: Cascina Francia and Monfortino. The latter is a blend of the vineyard's best subplots, and is only released in outstanding vintages. Both are aged in large, old Slavonian oak casks- Cascina Francia for four years, and Monfortino for a minimum of seven. The wines can be tannic and austere when young, but given at least ten years, they consistently develop into profoundly complex, glorious examples of the brilliance Nebbiolo can achieve. Conterno Fantino was founded in 1982 by two friends, Guido Fantino and Claudio Conterno, whose own fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers had all earned their livelihood in the vineyard, making wine. The very high reputation they have built for themselves has never diminished the characteristic, grass-roots simplicity and sincerity that go into everything they do. The estate's original nucleus is the cru of Ginestra: a historical one for Barolo, documented as far back as the 1800s. In 1989, Guido and Claudio acquired terrain from the nearby area of Bricco Bastia. Subsequent years continued in the same vein: cru by cru, with an aim towards expressing the individual terroirs fully and faithfully. Fabio Fantino, Guido's son, now flanks him in crafting the wines, while daughter Elisa engages with clients. There is a future Conterno generation, too: Noemi and Matteo, still too young to do any actual work but already intrigued by the family heritage. Chiara Boschis has some six hectares of vines under cultivation in the commune of Barolo, known for producing open, rich wines with great structure. She graduated with a degree in economics but gained experience while working with her brothers at the historical Borgogno estate. As one of few women winemakers in the Langhe, she is a force of unquestionable confidence, determination, patience and charm. She took over the reins at E. Pira e Figli in 1990 with a clear idea of what she wanted to accomplish: to marry the extraordinary power of Barolo with approachability, enticing elegance, and lush, intense aromas. She achieves this goal through strict vineyard management, careful selection, and impeccable vinification techniques: shortened maceration, malolactic fermentation, and aging in barriques. Within the short time she has run the estate, she has quickly proved herself worthy of her peers, regularly garnering points well over 90 points from major international publications for all of her wines. Total annual production is a miniscule 2,000 cases. The Palladino winery is an old building in the center of the village, surrounded by the vineyards of Serralunga d'Alba in the heart of the production of Barolo. Since 1870, wine and life have established a strong pair. The winery dates the house to 1870 and the cousins Maurilio and Mauro Palladino bought the winery in 1974 and started the wine production estate bottled in 1978, after a renovation. Maurilio's niece Veronica is helping to carry on the tradition for the next generation of Palladino. These wines are quintessential Barolo and consistently produced at the highest quality year after year. Paolo Scavino was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto from Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion. Enrico Scavino together with daughters Enrica and Elisa, fourth generation, run the family estate. He started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was 10 years old as a young winemaker who inherited the passion and devotion for his land. Through over 60 years of experience his focus has been to invest in important crus of Nebbiolo to show the uniqueness of each terroir. Their ledgendary vineyard holdings include; Cannubi, Bric dël Fiasc, Rocche dell'Annunziata, amongst others. The Rivetti family story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather to brothers Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians at that time, he dreamed of returning as a rich and a powerful man, and perhaps even one day having the opportunity to make great wine in his homeland. Though Giovanni never did, his son, Giuseppe (nicknamed "Pin"), fulfilled the dream. Pin married Lidia, purchased vineyards, and began to make wine. In 1977 the family took up residence at LA SPINETTA (meaning "top of the hill") in Castagnole Lanze, located in the heart of the area well-known for Moscato d'Asti, a rather light and simple dessert wine at the time. The Rivettis believed, however, that Moscato had the potential for greatness and set out to prove it by producing the region's first single-vineyard Moscato wines: Bricco Quaglia and Biancospino. In 2000 the family's ambition of adding a Barolo to the winery production became a reality. The Rivettis acquired vineyards in Grinzane Cavour where a state of the art cellar (LA SPINETTA Campè) was also constructed. Patriarch Mario Vietti made the first Vietti wines in 1919, selling most of the production in Italy. His most significant achievement was to transform the family farm into a grape-growing and wine-producing business. Then, in 1952, Alfredo Currado (Luciana Vietti's husband) continued to produce high quality wines from their own vineyards and purchased grapes. The Vietti winery grew to one of the top-level producers in Piemonte and was one of the first wineries to export its products to the USA market. Alfredo was one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards (such as Brunate, Rocche and Villero). This was a radical concept at the time, but today virtually every vintner making Barolo and Barbaresco wines offers "single vineyard" or "cru-designated" wines. Roberto Voerzio was established in 1986 in La Morra, a town in the heart of the Langhe that has always been renowned for the greatness of its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in town records going back as far as 1250. They began with 2 hectares, and over the years have managed to acquire the most prestigious, historic crus for the production of Barolo, such as La Serra, Brunate, Cerequio, and Rocche dell'Annunziata
since 1996 Single Cru Sperss is now classified as 'Langhe'
special signed and numbered by Roberto Voerzio
Barbaresco
Until Domizio Cavazza founded the Produtori del Barbaresco in 1894, the wines of Barbaresco, despite significant differences, were all sold as Barolo. Although roughly one third the size of Barolo, Barbaresco wine styles vary widely between vineyards and producers. The wines of Barbaresco are generally regarded as being a shade softer and less powerful than those of Barolo, and require only two years of oak aging to Barolo's three. It is important to note the difference between traditional and modern producers in both Barbaresco and Barolo. Traditionalists employ longer fermentations, and age their wines in very large, old casks. Modernists prefer short fermentations, small French barriques, and use technology to extract more flavor. While these styles are quite different, both create wonderfully distinct wines of great character and depth. Gaja makes three single-vineyard wines, each with unique characteristics. Sorì San Lorenzo, in the Secondine vineyard, was first released in 1967, and is known to be the most austere and powerful of the cru wines. 1970 marked the first vintage of Sorì Tildin, Gaja's plot in the Roncagliette cru, which combines great structure and finesse. Costa Russi, contiguous to Sorì Tildin, is the most round and elegant of the cru wines. Starting in 1996 all his single-vineyard Barbarescos are blended with 5-8% Barbera in order to strengthen the overall acidity of the wines. Doing this prevents the wines from bearing the "Barbaresco" designation, as they are required by law to be 100% Nebbiolo. Gaja also makes a Cabernet Sauvignon called Darmagi, which means 'what a shame.' These words were uttered by Angelo's father when he ripped up old Nebbiolo vines to plant the Cabernet. The Rivetti family story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather to brothers Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians at that time, he dreamed of returning rich and a powerful man, and perhaps even one day having the opportunity to make a great wine in his homeland. Though Giovanni never did, his son, Giuseppe (nicknamed "Pin"), fulfilled the dream. Pin married Lidia, purchased vineyards, and began to make wine. In 1977 the family took up residence at LA SPINETTA (meaning "top of the hill") in Castagnole Lanze, located in the heart of the area well-known for Moscato d'Asti, a rather light and simple dessert wine at the time. The Rivetti's believed, however, that Moscato had the potential for greatness and set out to prove it by producing the region's first single-vineyard Moscato wines, Bricco Quaglia and Biancospino. Over time, the family's vision became even grander, and in 1985 LA SPINETTA made its first red wine, Barbera Cà di Pian, with many great reds to follow. The first Barbaresco, Gallina, was produced in 1995 followed by Barbarescos Starderi, Barbera d'Alba Gallina in 1996 and and Barbaresco Valeirano in 1997. Barbera d'Asti Superiore entered the lineup in 1998

The Fuligni Viscounts, a long-standing Venetian family, moved to England in the 14th century at the head of a troop of mercenaries at the service of Edward III. With the succession of the Absburg- Lorraine to the Grand Duchy, Luigi Fuligni was transferred to Tuscany as general of the new sovereignty and, around 1770, received an extensive concession of land in the Maremma from the Grand Duke, Pietro Leopoldo. Fuligni's task was to see to the reclamation of the land as was the wish of the enlightened monarch. Giovanni Maria Fuligni settled in Montalcino at the beginning of 1900 and started to produce wine just as his family had previously done predominantly in the area around Scansano in the Maremma. The Fuligni Estate in Montalcino, directed by Maria Flora Fuligni consists of approximately 100 hectares of land at varying exposures to the sun. The vines, which extend over about ten hectares, are situated on the eastern part of the hill, a traditional area for Brunello. The cellars are located at Cottimelli (about three kilometers from Montalcino in the direction of Siena) in an original 18th century residence once the home of Medicean Grand Dukes
Super Tuscan
Indicazione Geografica Tipica. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was established by Marchese Lodovico Antinori of the Antinori family, behind one of Italy's most historic negociant firms, with the help of winemaker Tibor Gál. Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia is located on the Tuscan Coast, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, in the section of the Northern Maremma between Livorno and the island of Elba. The vineyards extend over two adjacent areas that are separated by Bolgheri's famed Cypress Avenue. There are 99 hectares of vineyards in all, 41 surrounding the Tenuta, and the remaining 58 in an area known as Bellaria, which is closer to the sea. The vineyards are planted at altitudes ranging from 50 to 120 meters above sea level, on slopes ranging from 5 to 20°. The vineyards of the estate were planted in 1981, producing the first vintage in 1985. A modern winery was built in 1987, and a second 56-hectare (140-acre) property was later added, Bellaria, situated north of Bolgheri. The property is adjacent to Tenuta San Guido, producer of Sassicaia which is considered the seminal "Super Tuscan", and Ornellaia has been suggested to be Lodovico Antinori's competitive answer to his cousin Nicolò Incisa's Sassicaia, and his older brother Piero Antinori's Solaia. In the 1920s the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta dreamt of creating a 'thoroughbred' wine and for him, as for all the aristocracy of the time, the ideal was Bordeaux. This is how he described it in a letter to the esteemed wine critic, Luigi Veronelli dated 11 June 1974: "…the origins of my experiment date back to the years between 1921 and 1925 when, as a student in Pisa and often a guest of the Salviati Dukes in Migliarino, I drank a wine produced from one of their vineyards…which had the same unmistakable "bouquet" as an aged Bordeaux…." In the 1940s, having settled with his wife Clarice on the Tenuta San Guido on the Tyrrhenian coast, he experimented with several French grape varieties (whose cuttings he had recovered from the estate of the Dukes Salviati in Migliarino) and concluded that the Cabernet had "the bouquet I was looking for." A wine made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon was a fundamental change to the Tuscan and Piedmont tradition of Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, respectively. The innovative decision to plant this variety at Tenuta San Guido was partly due to the similarity Mario Incisa had noted between Tuscan terrain and that of Graves in Bordeaux

Favorite Moments From Our 2017 Trip
The Barolo Grill staff makes its annual summer trek to Italy, visiting spectacular food and wine establishments. During the summer of 2017 we ventured to the classic wine regions of Umbria, Toscana, and Piemonte. In Umbria, we discovered the charm of Orvieto and the uniqueness of Montefalco and Torgiano. While in Toscana, we soaked in the history of the epic wines of Chianti and Montalcino. We ended our journey in majestic Piemonte; first with a visit to Canelli for sparkling wine, then venturing into the heart of Barolo and Barbaresco. This features an outstanding selection of wines for you to explore from properties we visited in our travels

Barolo is a true gem. From the attentive and knowledgeable wait staff to the delicious food this place is a winner!
After showing gluten free in my profile and informer the wait staff that my wife is celiac, her food contained gluten.
Barolo Grill is consistently excellent in every way. A true gem in the Denver market.
Exceptional food and service. Terrific dining experience. Very pricey.
Everything was very disappointing. The food took over an hour to get to our table, the portions were too small (even for a 5 star restaurant) and the waitress wouldn’t serve me a drink. The service was terrible as well, we maybe saw our waitress 3 times all night. It got to the point that I didn’t even give her a tip (which I’ve never done in my life). I was a pizza delivery man for 4 years, I know what it’s like to work for tips and I’ve always tried to be generous when I leave a tip. But I really didn’t feel that this waitress deserved to be paid for the service we got. We won’t be back.
Our meal was delicious and the waitress was wonderful. Was a little disappointed with the calamari, rock shrimp appetizer - the breading was tasteless.
As always fabulous food and lovely service. So nice to have server who is truly knowledgeable about wine offerings. Lovely flowers and just the right amount of Holiday lights.
Perhaps the best restaurant in Denver. Cheerful, attentive and educated staff. Excellent selection and portion sizes. FABULOUS flavor! Excellent value. Can't recommend Barolo enough!
From the moment we arrived until we were in our car, the experience was 5 stars all the way. Our waiter, Seth, was fantastic! Thank you for making this a fabulous birthday for my husband. This is our favorite restaurant !
We truly enjoyed our evening!
Of note however was the dining experience was not quite up to our expectations. Of note, my entree, the recommended pork tenderloin was dry and lacked tenderness, as were the vegetables. Due to the closeness of the tables, I/we truly did not wish to call it to others attention with management. Our server was great, but seemed to have too many tables, as I wished to have another glass of wine (which fortunately an assistant manager ) got me.
It’s the holiday season and understand the demands on the chef/kitchen and staff, we will return again.
This place is so special! My first time here was elevated by the exceptional service my boyfriend and I received. From being greeted with a huge smile at the front door to having Erin and our server Spencer answer all questions we had about the incredible wine list and food menu, our time here was truly amazing! This was definitely a dining experience we will cherish and spread to family and friends how well we were treated! We can’t wait to come dine here again! Such a gem!
Always, a wonderful experience. Barolo has the best wait staff in the city of Denver.
We weren’t asked if we were celebrating anything, which was a bummer. Our waiter was fantastic and very patient with us. He was great!
A memorable evening/meal for a special birthday. Thank you, Barolo
Great night, love the atmosphere and their staff knowledge of the cuisine and where it comes from in Italy
This is my 1st negative review of a place, because I think reviews are often inmates running the asylum. I've been excited to eat here since we moved here. 5 dishes including dessert were weak. Salt was the overpowering ingredient throughout our evening. That is both odd and questionable. A $285 dinner for 2 should taste like VIP seats to your favorite concert at a small venue and no line when you hit the bar. Cocktails were no better. Sorry Barolo, but I hope others don't burn that kind of money for such uninspiring food. Service was great.
My wife and I eat out frequently, this was by far the best experience we’ve had in a long time! Great food, excellent service!
The food was excellent as was the wine that Esther our waitress recommended was very good. Esther was fantastic and was very attentive and pleasant. Next time I come back I would request Esther to serve me.
Loved it!!!!
Our first special meal after our move to Denver in 1994. Still our favorite restaurant after all these years. Please don't leave or change it up. Really special place to always count on for excellence and satisfaction.
Last time I dined there the menu seemed a bit stale although the experience was delightful. We were pleasantly surprised that the current menu displays some inventiveness. Seems like the new ownership is changing things bit and the changes are quite nice. One last comment, the sommelier understood immediately what I was looking for and suggested two options. Her suggested selection was wonderful.
I'm Italian and have spent a ton of time in Italy where half my family lives. I'm very picky about Italian restaurants. The food here is authentic and delicious and they have an impressive wine list. Will be back again no doubt!!
We come here at least once a month, it is the to go restaurant in Denver. Amazing tasting menu with amazing wine pairing
5 year anniversary
My son said “this is the best meal I’ve had this year”.
Our waiter Alex made the night fun and we learned a bit too!
We always look forward to diner at Barolo. Food and service is consistently outstanding. Wine selections, while on the higher price side, are extensive; especially the Italian selections. Could add more Oregon Pinot Noir’s to match the quality of the current wine list!
Wonderful experience.
Excellent in every way
The service was outstanding and the food excellent.
We scheduled this place for a date night and to explore the expansive wine menu. What a great experience we had. Our server was on top of everything but most importantly, he invested his time, energy and knowledge into really making our visit enjoyable. Of course, beyond that it was great food, a great wine list that is worthy of its recognition and an overall great place. We will be going back for another date night soon.
This was my second visit in a couple of months after a years long refusal to go back. The menu and food are so much improved over the years. I’m fortunate to have this close to my house and more fortunate that a friend convinced me how great they become again
Barolo is just outstanding. The food is exceptional. Duck is a specialty plate and never fails to please. The staff is exceptionally qualified to discuss the dishes and even the ingredients in the dishes. This is one of the top restaurants in Denver. Put it on your list.
Outstanding service...fabulous wine list...comfortably elegant ambiance...menu was exceptional and perhaps we ordered incorrectly but our choices did not meet expectations...for example, the duck entree was an overwhelming portion while the pork entree was minuscule...will go back soon and give the menu another chance because everything else was just right!
Beautiful place with amazing food!! We will be back for sure
Truffle special week, expensive meal is accepted having white truffles in the menu, however the truffle quality was bellow average quality expected.
Perfect date night with my spouse
I highly recommend their tasting menu paired with wines. They are so knowledgeable about their wines and it’s fun to have sips of a different wine with each course. Good job, Barolo Grill!
Fantastic food and service!!!
Although my expectation was too high, I was disappointed by the way foods were served especially the temperature. I could tell the plate was not warm with the steak I ordered as main course. Since it was a chilly night, the dish got cold quickly. I did see the quality of the meat was great, though. The portion of each plate was too large on all of them. We liked the service yet she did not seem to have read my note on OpenTable Reservation that says it was for my birthday until the middle of the meal. Since I have been to Europe and experienced the way they serve, I think there are a few areas of improvement at this level of the restaurant.
Barolo never disappoints. It is expensive, but worth it. The food is always outstanding and the wine list of Italian wines is the best in the Rocky Mountain region.
