Nebbiolo
Description
Nebbiolo is the most famous grape variety of Piedmont, known all over the world. Nebbiolo is the father of three extraordinary wines: Roero, Barbaresco, and Barolo. The name derives from “nebbia” (fog), because the grapes are harvested when the first autumn fogs appear. The grapes have the typical deep violet colour, reminding of the colour of the plums. The flavours enhance the correct balance between alcohol and tannins, perceived in its magnificent notes of the sweet and noble tannins giving the wine an aromatic and long finish.
