"The Barolo Rupestris, grown on the more vigorous American rootstock, is an awesome effort in 2001. Boasting a dark, translucent color and expressive notes of dark cherries, spices and cough syrup, it is a stunning expression of nebbiolo. Deceptively medium-bodied, it is made in a powerful style that perhaps slightly emphasizes palate sensation over aromatics in its overall balance, yet it displays tremendous purity, nobility and structure. (Drink between 2013-2026)"

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.
