"The 2000 Barolo Brunate is fabulous. In fact, it may be one of the wines of the vintage. Certainly at its price point, that isnāt even a question. Powerful yet refined tannins buffer a core of explosive fruit. This shows gorgeous detail and class all the way through to the long, enveloping finish. The estateās Brunate is one of a handful of wines that still holds upside potential. The 2000 is more open than some of the other vintages that surround it, making this an excellent choice for readers who want to taste a Brunate with some age on it..."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
