"The 1998 Colle Gaio Malvasia de Lazio from Antonio Pulcini is a lovely bottle that is just starting to stretch its wings at age eighteen and is still probably a few years away from its true apogee of peak drinkability. The bouquet is pure and nascently complex, wafting from the glass in a blend of tart pear, menthol, a touch of beeswax, salty soil tones and a nice dollop of fresh rosemary in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with lovely interplay between ripe fruit and complex soil tones. The acids are bright, the wine is focused and very long on the backend, with fine soil signature and potential for further evolution with bottle age. A completely new universe to me and most impressive!"

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.
