Discover the best wines made with Nebbiolo as a single variety or as a blend of Canavese.
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.
Piedmontese DOC north of Turin between the Alps and the Po (~1,800 ha across 99 communes), glacial moraine soils, temperate Alpine climate. Erbaluce is the exclusive signature white king: dry and taut with citrus, green apple, white flowers, herbs and mineral touches, lively acidity and characteristic slightly bitter finish. Picotener (local name for Nebbiolo) is the red king, airy and silky (cherry, rose, undergrowth), blended with Barbera, Bonarda, Freisa, Neretto. Elegant Alpine expression.
