"Bright red cherries, plums, freshly cut flowers and mint jump from the glass in the 2011 Barbaresco Coparossa, a wine that stands out for its freshness and energy. Still, there is plenty of vintage 2011 radiance, but all the elements are very much in the right place. Coparossa is a blend of fruit from Pajorè, from which it takes volume, tannin and balsamic nuances and Fausoni, which adds aromatic overtones. The explosive finish is impossible to resist."

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.
