"The 1989 Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano is like a drug. Impossibly sweet, layered and silky on the palate, the 1989 is firing on all cylinders today. This is just about as good as it gets. Bruno Giacosa’s 1989s are among my favorite wines from anywhere in the world."

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.
