"Boasting a pretty garnet hue, the 2010 Barolo Gallinotto offers sharp aromatic definition with a beautiful medley of spice, pressed cherry, cigar box and black licorice. This vintage is impressive on all fronts, from the overall balance of the wine to its fluid complexity and firm structure. Gallinotto shows some of the best qualities of Nebbiolo in 2010 (with 24 months in barrel)."

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.
