Nebbiolo

“One of the oldest and most distinguished Italian grapes native to Piemonte. Intense, characterful wines are produced that are medium red in colour, high in acidity with noticeable tannin. Late ripening means that harvesting often needs to be carried out during late autumn mists (‘nebbia’ in Italian) hence the name. Sometimes known as ‘Spanna’ in northern Piemonte. Vivid aromas and flavours vary from strawberry fruity to herbal to earthy and the finest wines can take many years to develop fully. Nebbiolo is most frequently unblended.
