"Medium-deep red with a hint of garnet at the rim. Aromatically compressed on the nose due to the hot year, but already showing lovely notes of orange peel, ripe red cherry, tobacco and leather. Enters very smooth and supple, with ripe red fruit flavors, then turns quite tannic at the back. The very long finish features concentrated red cherry and licorice flavors. An outstanding wine . . ."

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.
