"Good full saturated ruby. Expressive aromas of red and dark berries, botanical herbs and cracked pepper; a hint of violet emerges with aeration. Then deep and rich, offering blackberry, quinine and cherry cola flavors complicated by faded flower nuances. The long, penetrating finish features a bitter chocolate and herbal note. This is drinking well now but ought to last and improve another ten years easily in a good cellar. Spent 12 months in stainless steel containers and then another 28 in large oak barrels."

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.
