"At the risk of sounding crazy I would say it still has a long way to go given its exuberance and vivacity. The bead was fine and persistent but this vintage stood out for its strength and how nervous it was. The color was still very bright and shimmering, while the flavor had touches of almond, white chocolate and candied lemon peel. The mouthfeel was warm and sweet but with everything needed to ensure its great drinkability. The aroma was different, divergent, and almost brutal with its notes of anise and cut grass and bold floral bouquet. I would suggest drinking it in a few years but if you can get your hands on a bottle you can drink it without remorse, it’s wonderful."

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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
