"The 2001 Barolo Sarmassa (magnum) flows onto the palate with crushed rose petals, truffles, spices and sweet herbs. It shows gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and depth through to the round, opulent finish. The Sarmassa has aged quite gracefully. There is more than enough rich, dark fruit to support another two decades of very fine drinking."

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.
