This vintage gemstone showcases a captivating deep red hue, indicative of its rich character. On the palate, it exhibits a medium-bodied structure with soft tannins that provide just the right amount of grip without overpowering the fruit. The wine boasts a bright acidity, lending a refreshing lift that complements its enchanting fruit intensity, marked by notes of ripe cherry and plum. This delightful wine is dry, enhancing its food-friendly nature, and makes for a splendid accompaniment to an array of dishes. With its harmonious balance and elegant finish, the Azelia Bricco Dell'oriolo is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Dolcetto varietal.

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.
