"Our bottles of 1970 Pora were utterly sublime. Sweet tobacco, anise, dried rose petal, cedar, spice and earthy nuances give the 1970 Pora its aromatic presence, but it is the silkiness and sweetness of the fruit that comes with decades in bottle that elevates the Pora into the realm of the exquisite. Quite simply, the 1970 Pora is a superb wine from the Produttori del Barbaresco, and also the perfect conclusion to this fabulous dinner."

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.
