Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is an Italian red grape, predominantly grown in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy where it is used to make the DOCG wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, among others. Nebbiolo produces lightly coloured wines, which have good levels of tannin and acidity, making many require extended ageing to develop the required balance between tannin and fruit. They have a characteristic floral aroma, and can develop notes of herbs, cherries, raspberries, truffles and dried fruits, particularly in older wines.
