"The wine's ethereal character breaks the mold of the sensorily classical aromatics and veers in unexpected directions . . . . Sweet on the nose with notes of black plum, dark chocolate, white musk, burnt sage, and burnt wood. Still rich, it demonstrates its terroir beautifully with a background note reminiscent of wet earth and bergamot. It's full-bodied, with stiff tannins and a vertical finish that persists on the palate, making for an incredible, emotional tasting experience. Fermented in steel tanks and aged for 30 months in large wooden barrels. Better from 2023."

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.
