"The lovely exposition of this wine buffs all the rustic edges off what otherwise tastes like a traditional Barolo. It has the tart red berry flavor, the porcini scent, the mineral zing of acidity and earthy tannin with such aggressive youth that it completely dries out the mouth. From one of the top vineyards in Serralunga, this has impressive length of flavor and classical elegance. It will likely provide the most transparent pleasures at 15 to 20 years from the vintage."

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.
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.
