"The 2010 Barolo Coste di Rose sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site in the Barolo township that faces towards Bussia and Monteforte dāAlba. Immediately noticeable is the bright energy and intensity of the fruit and the dark, richly concentrated appearance of the wine. Thereās a vein of sweetness that runs straight through this wine, doing a great job of pulling it together as one. This very approachable Barolo will perform well in the near-term."

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.
