". . . this is among the greatest Monfortino ever tasted and ever made. It has a clear garnet color with luminous, bright reflections that are frightening for how they have withstood the test of time. The way it has aged in the bottle is not just textbook but a dream come true. Its aromas are something exotic recalling the East on the one hand and the freshness of the moors in the autumn on the other. The way it changes in the glass is beyond description, continually evolving without ever conceding an iota. The mouthfeel is very fresh and savory, mineral and silky. Astounding, a true organoleptic phenomenon that can rival the world’s greatest wines known for aging long."

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.
