"Very dark glass-staining ruby. Ripe and smoky on the nose, offering vibrant red cherry and blueberry scents along with licorice and smoky oak spices. Juicy and fine-grained, with bright acids giving definition to the ripe flavors of black cherry, espresso and candied violet. Starts suave and apparently seamless, but the long finish features substantial tongue-drying tannins that call for patience."

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.
