"Remarkable in its concentration and elegance, with marvelously focused raspberry and cherry flavors and hints of chocolate and anise. Muscular; without an ounce of excess weight and with just a touch of tannin to lose."

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.
