"The estate's2004 Barbaresco Vanotu is the most deeply-colored and concentrated of these offerings. A brooding wine, its flavor profile is dominated by ripe dark cherries and plums, earthiness, licorice, smoke and sweet toasted oak. this is a beautiful, modern-styled Barbaresco."

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.
Produces Nebbiolo of slightly more elegance and approachability than neighboring Barolo, offering perfume, finesse and firm structure.
