"The bouquet is deep, complex and nearly bottomless, as it offers up notes of cherries, blood orange, licorice, a bit of bonfire, tarry tones, fresh thyme, a great base of complex soil nuances and a bit of spice in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and quite powerful, with great focus, a rock solid core of fruit, firm tannins and acids, and outstanding length and grip on the very primary and chewy finish."

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 Nebbiolo of slightly more elegance and approachability than neighboring Barolo, offering perfume, finesse and firm structure.
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.
