"The 2011 Valpolicella Superiore is a real stunner. Freshly cut flowers, bright red berries, cinnamon and mint are all laced together in a wine of exquisite finesse and nuance. In 2011, about 50% of the fruit was air-dried for about 20 days, while the wine was aged in equal parts cask and French oak barrique."

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.
A prolific northern region known for Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes, as well as Soave and Prosecco. Its finest reds are rich, warming and concentrated.
