The grape’s name Nebbiolo is a clear reference to the fog (“nebbia” in Italian) which is always present in Piedmont during the harvest in mid-October, or even later. This grape is very delicate and requires special conditions for its cultivation: the hills must be exposed to South or Southern-west, and the soil must be rich in limestone sediments. These unique characteristics have limited the cultivation of Nebbiolo almost exclusively in Piedmont, especially in the Langhe area, with the exception of Valtellina (where it is known as Chiavennasca) and Valle d’Aosta.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red color. The nose is very elegant, with typical flowery notes of violet and roses, together with fresh fruity aromas of cherry and raspberry. On the palate it is dry and well-balanced, with a nice structure, smooth tannins and a good freshness.

Food Pairing

Ideal with appetizers, charcuterie, cheese, hot and cold pasta, meat dishes. A very food friendly wine; it can be wonderfully enjoyed in different occasions, from a simple picnic to important meals as well.
