"The 1978 Barolo Monprivato bursts from the glass with stunning richness and intensity, coating every inch of the palate in dramatic fashion. It remains a vibrant, youthful Barolo that is one of the finest wines made in one of Piedmont’s most historic harvests . . . . The 1978 is an utterly magical, spellbinding Monprivato."

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.
