"The 2005 Lessona San Sebastiano all Zoppo comes across as firm and inward. It shows plenty of definition in its aromas and flavors, all supported by insistent saline notes that frame the finish. With time in the glass the sweetness of the fruit begins to emerge, but this remains a decidedly focused, wiry wine with tons of personality."

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 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.
