Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
Sub-region of California's South Coast AVA (1985) south of Los Angeles, tempered by Pacific breezes. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are the signature reds: full-bodied and sun-drenched with intense blackberry, black cherry, plum, garrigue and spicy-peppery notes, round tannins. Zinfandel and Tempranillo add a Mediterranean character. Chardonnay and Viognier as fragrant whites.
