"A complex bouquet of mushrooms, balsam wood, dried red and black fruits, cedar, and black cherries jumps from the glass of this medium to dark plum-colored Barbaresco. Sexy, aromatic, and rich, with a lush, concentrated, tannic finish . . . . It represents a classic example of the fragrant, harmonious, silky-textured 1998 vintage."

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.
