This is undoubtedly one of the greatest Dolcetto d'Albas I have tasted. While it will not make old bones, for drinking over the immediate future, this awesome, black/purple-colored 1999 provides a glorious perfume of violets, black fruits, and mocha. Super-rich yet not heavy, beautifully pure and fleshy, with tremendous palate presence, it will drink well for 2-3 years. An amazing achievement! Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.

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.
