"The 1999 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is utterly impeccable from start to finish. Vivid, layered and totally beautiful, the 1999 caresses the palate with tons of nuance and pure pedigree. Sweet red fruit, flowers mint and dried herbs are just some of the many notes that blossom in the glass. Once a brute, the 1999 has developed into a sophisticated, refined Barolo of the highest level. Sweet, floral notes add further lift on the expressive, perfumed finish. The 1999 has more than enough depth to drink well for many, many years. Sweet roses, mint and licorice add the final nuances in a memorable Barolo from Scavino."

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.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
