"The 1990 Barolo La Serra is a rustic, full-bodied, cherry, herb, and tar-scented wine with tremendous body, gobs of tannin . . . . I am sure this wine will merit an outstanding rating in 5-6 years, but when I tasted it in March, it was nearly impenetrable. Patience is required!"

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.
