"Deep red-ruby. Enticing aromas of dark plum, red cherry, graphite and milk chocolate, with hints of tar and potpourri. Then distinctly sweet but not overripe or heavy on the palate, with lush flavors of dark plum, redcurrant jelly, tobacco and coffee complemented but not overwhelmed by sexy vanillin oak. Very powerful, almost brooding wine, finishing with fine-grained but noteworthy tannic bite, spicy tar, balsamic and licorice character. There is a leafy aromatic quality to this wine that is due to the higher than usual Malvasia Nera content (almost 10% of the final blend)."

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.
