Nebbiolo

Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.

Grenache noir

Supple, sunny reds with a light robe and generous alcohol, with aromas of candied red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, cherry), garrigue, gentle spices, white pepper and kirsch notes. Ripe tannins and a warm palate. Pillar of GSM blends in the southern Rhône (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras), star of Tavel rosé, Priorat and Aragonese Garnacha. Also in natural sweet wines (Banyuls, Maury, Rasteau). Historic Mediterranean variety from Aragon.
