Understanding Bordeaux wines can be quite confusing, so the use of a guide is very valuable, they will be able to explain the vineyard in detail, as well as grape varieties, designations and the classification system. These days, most Italian table wines are insipid, thin, weak, and acidic, the sort of wine that used to be sold in jugs and is now sold in Tetra Paks.

And, these bottles accounted for 7.1% of trading in August (better than Burgundy at 6%, but also better than Champagne and Rhone) and other wines are doing very well also - above all, Masseto, Ornellaia and Tignanello. You remember where and when you tasted those bottles and every other wine will always be judged against them. However, whereas Tuscans blended Sangiovese with varying amounts of other grapes (usually Cabernet or Merlot), or vinified French grapes by themselves (Collezione de Marchi L'Eremo, a Syrah, or Fontodi's Pinot Noir, for example), in Piemonte they blended Nebbiolo and Barbera, under the theory that the Nebbiolo will supply the tannins, while the Barbera will supply acidity (Giorgio Rivetti's Pin, for example, is wonderful). The bronze grapes are usually milder in flavor. Three questions, for wine drinkers, that are probably more important than almost anything else (I know, a slight exaggeration).
