Nebbiolo grape variety

Nebbiolo is one of Italy's great noble grape varieties. It is mainly cultivated in Piedmont. The wines are medium to full-bodied, with extremely strong tannins, usually very rough when young, and high acidity. Nebbiolo wines typically show aromas of red fruits such as plum, cherry and red berries, accompanied by more edgy tones such as tobacco and leather. When ripe, floral notes of roses and/or violets and spices are also added. The grape is traditionally matured in large wooden barrels, with modern variants also available in smaller containers such as barriques. Either way: Nebbiolo needs more time than almost any other grape variety to become accessible and show its full potential. However, it is then an excellent accompaniment to strong meat and game dishes. Nebbiolo is the important grape variety for one of the most noble, famous and storable wines in Italy: Barolo.
