Braised Beef In Barolo Wine Sauce
Brasato is often served at Christmas time, on New Year’s Day and other special occasions. This is the classic brasato recipe from the Piemonte region, where Barolo wine, which gives this dish its inimitable taste, originates. But in the US, this wine can be very pricey and difficult to find; fortunately, many other good-quality, hearty or full-bodied red wines will do, such as a Barbera, Barbaresco or even a Beaujolais. (Just don’t tell this to a Piemontese!)
