"This is almost a different wine, one that borders on emotion, one of the best Granbussias of the last 20 years. The color is brighter than the 1997 and its strong points are its austerity and elegance. Initially the aroma is of medicinal herbs and crushed rose, together with wonderful scents of chamomile and thyme. It becomes sumptuous with breathing as traces of medlar and ginger emerge in a balsamic framework. The palate is quite severe - stiff - a true country gentleman in a double-breasted suit. Its drinkability makes it irresistible and my suggestion is to drink it alone in order to experience it in full. Magnificent."

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.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
