"Fully ripe aromas of cassis and dark chocolate. Sweeter, broader and silkier than the Ca' di Pian, with more old-viney creaminess and depth of flavor. This has the sheer stuffing to cover its sound acidity. Finishes with suave, oak-influenced tannins and a spicy character. From a crop level of just 25 hectoliters per hectare, says Rivetti, who notes that the 2004 version of this wine is great right now."

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.
