Hailing from the esteemed Barolo region, this wine offers a medium-bodied profile that showcases the grace and elegance of its youth while also revealing the depth gained through years of careful aging. The acidity is bright and vibrant, providing a lovely backbone that enhances its overall structure. Tannins are remarkably firm yet well-integrated, contributing to a texture that is both luscious and robust.

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.
