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.
Rare Piedmontese DOC in the northeast (Biella and Vercelli), pre-Alpine moraine hills southwest of Lake Maggiore, porphyritic volcanic soils. Nebbiolo (Spanna, 50–80%) is the signature red: garnet robe with intense faded rose, cherry, tar, leather and a smoky hint, firm tannins and superb ageing potential. Fleshy Croatina (≤30%) and Uva Rara/Vespolina (≤20%) as softening complements. Minimum 22 months ageing.
