"Sugar addicts should check out the extremely ripe, raisiny, chewy 1988 Patriglione. It provides an almost overwhelming glass of wine and is meant to be served at the end of a meal, with a cheese course or by itself. Its viscous texture and intense, earthy, tar, and jammy black-cherry aromas and flavors ooze across the palate. This distinctive wine is clearly the most controversial of Taurino's current offerings. It is such a rich, alcoholic wine that it will have no difficulty holding its fruit and aging well. . ."

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.
