"The 2010 Barolo Big âd Big emerges from vines in the Mosconi vineyard. Smoke, tobacco, licorice and savory herbs burst from the glass in a huge, strapping Barolo endowed with massive power and sheer explosiveness. White pepper and sweet floral notes add an exotic dimension of complexity and nuance on the finish. There is an exoticism in the Big that is impossible to miss."

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.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
