"Immense in its sensorial complexity, it dispenses notes of geraniums, hibiscus flowers, rose hips, and pressed raspberries. An incredible structure that veers in different directions and manifests power and quality. Full body with smooth tannins that are perfectly fused into the wine's structural matrix; a warm and enveloping, horizontal finish which does not detract from the grip and precision of the length. Masterpiece in Barbaresco. 3 years of aging in large barrels and one year in bottle before release on the market. "

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.
