"The 2001 Barbera d’Alba Pozzo, as in the past, has very few rivals for the title of heavyweight champion of Piedmont (or maybe the world as far as this grape is concerned). An impenetrable, blackish ruby, its soaring nose of sweet plum fruit and chocolate, spice, and smoke, and with a rarely encountered perfection of ripeness, is superbly broad, dense, and voluminous in flavor. Its concentration and weight, its caressing, deep-pile tannins and length of flow, will guarantee exceptional drinking . . ."

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.
