"Ample, deep and exquisitely layered, the Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco is the most showy of the six wines in this first flight. The natural richness of the vintage is tempered by a classic expression of structure. An exotic mélange of dark cherry, plum, smoke and licorice build into the huge, explosive finish. What a wine! . . . . it is also nowhere near being ready to drink."

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.
