"The 1989 offering from the Bussia Soprano sub-vineyard of Vigna Cicala is a sensational bottle of wine. The earthy, raspberry, black-cherry, and tar aromas of the 1989 Vigna Cicala explode upward from the glass. This is the most massive and structured of the three single vineyard Barolos. The tannin and fruit extraction are both extremely high. This wine requires . . . cellaring . . ."

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.
