"Ripe and full in the glass, it shows remarkable complexity with hints of black plum, blackberry, sandalwood, toasted hazelnuts, and black tea leaves. In the background, a devastating progression of fresh fruit dominates the scene in a way that recalls fermenting grape must. Full bodied, sweet and sensual on the palate, it shows velvety tannins and a voluminous finish full of character and precision of execution. Better from 2021."

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.
