Nebbiolo Wine Grape

You may better recognize Nebbiolo by its regional names of Barolo and Barbaresco – the towns that made this grape famous. Nebbiolo originates from the high slopes of Piemonte, the furthest most northwest wine growing region in Italy, home to limestone and sandstone soils. This grape is just beginning to be planted in the Willamette Valley and is later ripening than the more commonly planted Pinot Noir. It has high acidity and tannin structure, and the ability to produce very elegant yet powerful wines. Notes of roses, raspberries and leather make a wonderful pairing for hearty stews and fatty dishes.

Nebbiolo can be somewhat finicky to grow for the purpose of making wine – so choose this varietal if you are particularly interested in appreciating what grape farmers do!
