"Inviting aromas and flavors of licorice, leather, camphor and sweet dried cherry are the hallmarks of this savory, harmonious red. Washes over the palate, with warmth and richness belying the pale color and light weight. Offers a fine finish of saline minerality, revealing vestiges of sweet cherry. Nebbiolo."

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 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.
