Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 May 15
Voluptuous and racy on the palate, the 2004 Barbera d'Alba Riserva Vigneto Pozzo dell'Annunziata is in a gorgeous spot right now, where the flavors are just beginning to show elements of complexity and nuance gained in bottle. Suave, silky tannins wrap around a core of jammy dark stone fruits and expressive spiced notes. A vivid, powerful finish rounds things out nicely.

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.
