"Bright ruby-red. Sexy nose offers aromas of cassis, currant, flowers and smoky oak. Broad, lush and essentially gentle, with hints of exotic brown spices and a slight peppery nuance. Very classy, laid-back cabernet that finishes with fine, toothcoating tannins and impressive persistence. From vines planted in 1978."

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 planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
