"Very opulent, even showy, on the nose, with blueberry and blackberry aromas. Concentrated and full-bodied, with wonderfully velvety tannins and a superlong finish. Goes on and on. Voerzio is a genius with his old-vine Barbera . . . . [Only] 480 cases made, 40 cases imported."

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.
