Nebbiolo

About this grape variety

The grape of Piedmont's most celebrated wines — Barolo and Barbaresco — Nebbiolo is one of the world's most distinctive red varieties. The wines combine pale colour with formidable tannin, high acidity, signature aromatics of rose, tar, red cherry and truffle, and decades-long ageing potential. Nebbiolo is fastidious about site; it thrives only on specific calcareous-marl hills around Alba in northern Italy, plus smaller plantings in Valtellina and Roero. Few grapes reward patience as generously.
