"Consistently one of the reference points for Italian wines, Angelo Gaja has fashioned some spectacular new releases. His 1991 Rossj Bass Chardonnay is a more delicately styled, floral, richly fruity, medium-bodied wine with admirable depth and richness, adequate acidity, and a spicy touch of subtle new oak . . . . As evidenced by these wines, Gaja continues to demonstrate his winemaking genius."

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 world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
