Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 16
Voerzio's 2012 Barbera d'Alba Riserva Vigneto Pozzo dell'Annunziata is dark, polished and inviting. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice, menthol and new leather meld together in an intense, ample wine that delivers considerable intensity and power. As time goes by and cask gradually replaces barriques here and elsewhere, French oak-aged Barbera seems to stick out more and more.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
