"Good deep red-ruby. Rather reticent aromas of plum, violet pastille and minerals, with hints of superripe fruits. Sweet on entry, then less fat and full than the Sperss; sharply delineated but dominated today by its spine. Finishes very bright and vibrant, though. I'd normally expect a Serralunga wine like Sperss to be more backward than this one from La Morra . . ."

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.
