The Chef's tips The noble Barolo, the king of Italian wines gives a very special aroma to this simple dessert made from an age old Piedmontese recipe. If you find it too strong, increase the dose of sugar.
 
Curiosity Barolo, the king of wines can only be out onto the market after it has aged for 3 years - two of which in oak and chestnut barrels.
