"Franco Martinetti is famous for his extraordinary gastronomical and oenological talent . . . . As for the wines, they are sleek and refined, much like Martinetti himself. The 2001 Barolo Marasco is a highly appealing, elegant Barolo. Medium ruby in color, it displays a floral, spiced nose along with notes of red raspberry fruit, minerals, tar and menthol on a medium-bodied frame with fine, silky tannins and excellent length."

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.
