"The 1989 Barolo Brunate is quite a bit fresher than the 1990 but shows the slightly leaner style typical of many wines in this vintage. The bouquet of spices, menthol, sweet tobacco and licorice melds into layers of dark fruit that come to life in the glass. The wine puts on additional richness with air and continues to develop lovely complexity in a very classic, mid-weight style."

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.
