"The complex 1998 Barbera d'Asti Costamiole reveals earthy, toasty notes intermixed with plums, cola, flowers, and roasted herbs. A boatload of fruit and glycerin hit the palate in this full-bodied, fat, fleshy Barbera. Fermented and aged in new oak for 12 months prior to being bottled unfiltered, it will drink well . . ."

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.
