Collection: Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, but its range reaches further than those two appellations. Here you will find our selection centred on Piedmont and with wines from, among others, Alto Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta. Compare appellations, vintages and descriptions if you want to explore how the grape changes character from bottle to bottle.

Nebbiolo ripens late and needs a suitable growing site. Soil, exposure and the local climate all matter to the result. In the glass you will often find pronounced tannin and freshness, while the aromas can span red fruit, flowers and spices. The specific balance also depends on vinification and ageing. The name of the grape is therefore a starting point for your choice, not a complete tasting description.

Barolo and Barbaresco are made from Nebbiolo alone, but come from different demarcated areas each with their own rules. Langhe Nebbiolo is another designation and should not be understood as a wine with the same ageing requirements or the same expression. In the broader selection you may also encounter blends with Nebbiolo. Read the grape composition and the description when you compare the wines across areas.

You do not have to cellar every Nebbiolo for years. Some bottles can be interesting for a meal now, while others can develop further under good conditions. Use the information about the individual wine and vintage, and also consider which structure you prefer. For food, dishes with meat or mushrooms can be a good place to start, depending on the wine's body and tannin.

If you want to explore the grape's two well-known appellations more closely, you can continue to Barolo and Barbaresco. Here you can compare bottles within more tightly defined geographical boundaries. Then use the broad Nebbiolo page to find other expressions and origins. That makes it easier to choose according to your own taste and gives a more nuanced picture of the grape than any single bottle can provide.
