". . . a magical bottle of Barolo. The wine is wide open and beautifully developed aromatically, soaring from the glass in a stunning blend of cherries, roses, gentle notes of road tar, a touch of beef bouillon, a complex base of soil, fresh oregano, orange peel and a touch of sweet onion in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and sappy at the core, with great focus and grip, modest tannins and a very, very long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. I had the pleasure to drink this right on the heels of a fine bottle of 1982 Santa Stefano Riserva and I was very hard-pressed to choose a favorite between the two wines."

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.
