"The 2006 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza Riserva della Famiglia is a sophisticated and deeply layered red wine that bursts open with dark fruit, Morello cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and cigar box. The wine's intensity is impressive, and this elegant Barbera should be paired with roasted lamb or stewed meats. The wine has the natural heft and succulence to match those foods. It also offers enough clean acidity to keep the palate refreshed."

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.
