“Perfumed, roasted aromas of red fruits, dried flowers, mint and licorice. Then extremely closed in the mouth, even tougher than the Rocche . . . . Already conveys an impression of sweetness and compelling inner-mouth perfume of bitter cherry, licorice and mint . . . . With serious tannins and brooding suggestions of licorice, menthol and minerals.”

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.
