Armando Parusso Barolo Perarmando 2018
$62
More savory than fruity, this red is also backed by dense, burly tannins. Reveals macerated plum, licorice and leather flavors that seem ripe, yet they succumb to the tannic grip on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 550 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
