Nebbiolo is a noble grape variety most famously grown in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Revered for producing some of the world’s most sought-after wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco, Nebbiolo is known for its light color, floral aromas, and deep, complex flavors. Despite its pale ruby hue, Nebbiolo wines are full-bodied, offering layers of red fruit, rose petals, tar, and earthy undertones.
What makes Nebbiolo special is its balance of acidity and tannins, which gives it remarkable aging potential. Over time, these wines develop notes of dried fruit, leather, truffle, and spice, making them a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.
Here’s an overview of Nebbiolo from different regions:
Nebbiolo in Barolo, Italy: Often referred to as the "King of Wines," Barolo is the most famous expression of Nebbiolo. These wines are bold, structured, and highly tannic in their youth, with flavors of cherry, rose, tar, and leather. After aging, they develop complexity and elegance. Barolo pairs beautifully with rich dishes like braised beef, truffle pasta, and aged cheeses.
Nebbiolo in Barbaresco, Italy: Known as Barolo’s "Queen," Barbaresco offers a slightly softer, more approachable take on Nebbiolo. These wines still have the signature red fruit, floral, and earthy notes, but with a more refined and graceful structure. They pair well with roasted meats, mushroom risottos, and hearty Italian dishes.
Nebbiolo in Langhe, Italy: The Langhe region produces a more affordable and youthful expression of Nebbiolo. These wines are fruit-forward and approachable, with lively acidity and soft tannins, making them perfect for everyday enjoyment. Pair with charcuterie, pasta with red sauce, or grilled vegetables.
Nebbiolo in the USA & Australia: Winemakers in California and Australia are experimenting with Nebbiolo, producing wines with vibrant fruit flavors and softer tannins. These versions tend to be more fruit-forward and less austere, making them great for earlier drinking. They pair well with roasted pork, BBQ, and Mediterranean dishes.
Whether you're a fan of the powerful Barolo, the elegant Barbaresco, or a more youthful Nebbiolo from Langhe, our collection offers the best expressions of this exceptional grape. Explore our Nebbiolo selection and discover the beauty of this classic Italian varietal.
