"The 2008 Barbaresco Roncaglie is simply dazzling. Freshly cut roses, dark cherries, spices and minerals are just some of the nuances that explode from the glass in this big, dramatic Barbaresco. The 2008 is one of the richest Roncaglies I can ever remember tasting. The wine possesses gorgeous depth, expressive inner perfume and fabulous intensity. This is firing on all cylinders today, and it is hugely impressive . . . . This strong set of wines from Poderi Colla is capped off by a truly great version of the flagship Barbaresco Roncaglie."

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.
