"Some garnet to the ruby color now. Coffee and earthy aromas, with very ripe fruit. Almost raisiny. Full-bodied and very soft, with a big and juicy palate. Round tannins and a meaty, berry aftertaste. This needs to be served with game. Rounder and richer than I remember. [1998 Piedmont blind retrospective (2008).]"

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.
