"The 2001 Aglianico del Vulture Vigna della Corona, an inscrutably blackish ruby in tonality, is an explosively packed wine, with soaring aromas of black fruit, spice, ink, and licorice. The amplitude, depth, and concentration of berry fruit flavors, laced with truffles and tar and a savory volcanic minerality, are exceptional. Superior in length, continuity, and elegant power on the finish, it is an impeccable demonstration of why this zone and its grape are currently arousing so much excitement."

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.
