"The 2010 Barbaresco Pajorè jumps from the glass. An exotic melange of spice, tobacco and new leather hits the palate, followed by waves of intense dark fruit. Today, the Pajorè is the most implosive and closed of the wine's but the sheer depth and richness of the fruit are compelling. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's exceptional finesse and power."

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.
