Darmagi (red), from a Cabernet Sauvignon grape, produced by Angelo Gaja, without doubt the number one among the Italian producers of fine wines. Vigna Arborina (red), made from Nebbiolo grapes by Elio Altare: an emerging vintner who's making quite a name. Try also the Vigna Larigi (Barbera grape) and Barolo.
