"The 2006 Langhe Darmagi (Cabernet Sauvignon) makes a far more eloquent case for itself than the 2007. The fruit is dark, massive and imposing, while perfumed varietal notes add considerable complexity. A muscular core of blackberries, blueberries, graphite, grilled herbs, roasted coffee beans and French oak emerges with notable density. The tannins are firm yet impeccable, while the wine’s balance is first-class."

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 world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
