"Scintillating ruby with a distinctive garnet rim. Very exciting nose, dense and memorable, proceeding with leather, liquorice, then a lot of plum, and a little cranberry. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, showing a lot of ripe, fresh fruit; unfolds with grippy, fine tannins at the core, segueing to a long finish; a fun wine."

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.
