"I tasted four separate Barolos, including three single vineyard wines. My favorite is the 1990 Barolo Cru Bofani. It possesses a superb, multi-dimensional bouquet of herbs, tobacco, smoke, black fruits, and licorice. Great richness combined with outstanding delineation among its component parts, full body, and an explosive finish have combined to result in a lusty, decadently-styled Barolo. It can be drunk now or cellared . . . . This is an impressive performance from Batasiolo."

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.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
