"Smells like anise-flavored grappa at first, turning tannic and powerful on the palate, but the raspberry and vanilla flavors emerge forcefully from the grip of tannin. Big enough to need until the turn of the century, but it has the power and complexity to win in the end. Needs cellaring . . . [1990 Top 100: Rank 74]"

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.
