"The evident sensory intensity illustrates a wine with sinuous curves that easily inspires the memory and the mind; notes of strawberry, red plums, wild myrtle, parched sage, and marjoram. The slight, bass spiciness in the form of white pepper and tar completes the sensory picture. Full bodied, with docile tannins at the front palate which ignite throughout the progression on the palate, and a compact finish with a persistence that is difficult to replicate. A Barbaresco vintage that generates emotion and great enthusiasm in the glass."

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.
