"This shows beautiful perfumes of raspberries and strawberries, with just a hint of roses. Full-bodied, with extremely refined, silky tannins and a long finish of sweet, ripe fruit. Balanced and elegant. A joy to taste. The Gattera vineyard covers about 50 acres near La Morra and Revello owns a tiny piece of 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.
