"The 2015 Dogliani La Costa is deep, fleshy and voluptuous. Sweet tobacco, red cherry jam, wild flowers, mint and dried flowers give the 2015 its distinctive flavor signatures. Here, too, there is more than enough structure and overall intensity to support a number of years of very fine drinking. In fact, I would prefer to cellar the 2015 for at least a few years to allow the tannins to soften a touch."

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.
