92+ AG "The 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma, the estate's top bottling, is gorgeous in this vintage. The excessive French oak that plagued some vintages seems toned down and what emerges is a firm yet juicy core of dark, black fruit. Smoke, tar, licorice and leather struggle to come forward on the finish, and ultimately this remains a stubborn wine in need of at least several further years in bottle."

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.
