"Aromas of ripe fresh blackberry and some plum follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a chewy finish. With air, this turns to a big and rich wine, with masses of fruit and mouthpuckering tannins, but it finishes with sweet fruit and flowers. Amazing layers of fruit and tannins to this wine. Even better than I remember. [1998 Piedmont blind retrospective, 2008]."

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.
