". . . the ’71 Barolo is really quite good. The nose is deep and complex, offering up tertiary notes of red cherries, strawberries, dried rose petals, licorice, tar and forest floor. On the palate the wine is fullish, complex and well-balanced, with good depth at the core, and good length and tang on the complex finish. This is just a bit old-fashioned stylistically, but is a fine example of the genre."

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.
