Discover the best wines made with Nebbiolo as a single variety or as a blend of Coste della Sesia.
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.
DOC of northeastern Piedmont (Alto Piemonte) along the Sesia river (Vercelli, Biella), glacial moraine soils, cooler alpine climate than the Langhe. Nebbiolo is the signature red king ('Spanna' locally): slender and airy with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, undergrowth, alpine herbs and a mineral touch, fine tannins and high acidity — accessible alternative to Lessona, Bramaterra and Boca. Spiced Vespolina, rounded Croatina and Uva Rara in blends. Lively Erbaluce as white.
