For lovers of the classically produced big red wines that come only from the Italian Piedmont.

"Piemonte's, arguably Italy's, most revered wine grape; very old variety capable of producing perfumed, expressive, age-worthy wines of great beauty. The first written mention of "nebbiolo" was in 1266, the Piedmont is the only place in Italy or elsewhere on the planet where the grapes produce wines of the character that give "nebbiolo" its importance and regal reputation. In fact, the finest nebbiolo wines - barolo and barbaresco, are produced in an area roughly ten-by-twenty miles square. As you see, then, these wines are all about place - terroir.

Quoted from THE CAPTAIN'S CELLAR, The definitive encyclopedia of wines grapes.

The bottles chosen for this case feature ten 100% nebbiolo grape wines from the neighboring, but distinct areas of Serralunga, LaMorra, and Monforte in the Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco and Treiso in the Barbaresco DOCG.
