"Medium-deep red with inky highlights. Perfumed aromas of bright red cherry, roasted coffee and dark chocolate are joined by a strong note of underbrush that turns a bit medicinal. Very suave on entry, with smooth, ripe, aromatic flavors of berry liqueur, spices and dried orange peel complicated by leather and tobacco. A distinctly sweet, high-alcohol, gripping style of cannonau from vineyards ranging from 80 to 120 years of age. This is the biggest of the three reds made here but also the best-balanced, even if it comes across as downright sweet."

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.
