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.

Tinta Barroca

Intensely coloured, warm reds, sun-drenched with generous alcohol, with aromas of red and black candied fruits, plum, gentle spices and cocoa notes. Ripe tannins and a broad palate. Traditional partner of touriga nacional and touriga franca in the blends of great Port wines (especially Tawny and Ruby) and modern dry Douro DOC. Native Portuguese variety from the Douro and Trás-os-Montes.
