Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is a red grape variety primarily grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, known for producing some of the country's most esteemed wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Characterized by its high acidity and tannins, Nebbiolo wines often feature flavors of cherry, rose, tar, and earthy notes. They have a distinctive, complex profile that evolves over time, making them suitable for aging. The name "Nebbiolo" is derived from the Italian word "nebbia," meaning fog, which is common in the vineyards during harvest, contributing to the grape's unique characteristics and flavor development.
