"Brilliant, rich ruby color. Very clear nose, drawn fragrant and inviting, ripe wild raspberries and plums, fine. Displays much rich and juicy fruit upon approach, then unfolded tightly packed with fine-grained tannins, mineral depth, long in the final reverberation and powerful persistence."

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.
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.
