Riserva

2004 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Bruno Giacosa Riserva, a remarkable Nebbiolo from the esteemed Barolo region, showcases an enchanting deep red hue that allures the eye. This vintage, dating back to 2004, displays a full-bodied structure, with high acidity that invigorates the palate. Its prominent fruit intensity reveals luscious flavors of dark cherry, plum, and hints of dried rose petals, all intertwined with an elegant layer of earthy notes and a whisper of spice. The tannins in this wine are structured and powerful, providing a solid backbone that leads to a lingering finish. A beautifully crafted representation of Barolo, this wine is both memorable and a true testament to its noble origins.

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.
