Brief Introduction:
Nebbiolo is the renowned grape of the Piedmont region in Italy, used to produce Barolo and Barbaresco wines. This grape produces wines that range from smooth and silky, to fruity, full and robust. It ages superbly. Nebbiolo grows best on hills where it is allowed to ripen shrouded by autumn fog or “nebbia” – perhaps the word which may have inspired the grape’s name.

Flavor characteristics:
cherries, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and chocolate

Wine Recommendations:
The perfect example of a lush Nebbiolo wine is Gaja’s Barbaresco.  AGA004
