Barolo

1999 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Nicolello Barolo is a stunning red wine crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, hailing from the prestigious Barolo region. This vintage, which boasts remarkable complexity, presents an elegant profile with a full-bodied character that envelops the palate. It offers high acidity, contributing to its pronounced structure and ability to age gracefully. The fruit intensity is prominent, with vibrant notes of dark cherry and rose petal, alongside inviting undertones of tobacco and leather. Tannins are structured, providing a firm backbone that elevates the wine's overall depth and richness. Hailing from one of Italy's renowned wine-growing areas, the Nicolello Barolo is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
