If you like your red wines big, bold, then Nebbiolo (pronounced “Nebby-oh-low”) needs to be on your radar. Hailing from Northern Italy’s Piedmont Region, this grape is known for producing powerful, full-bodied, and tannic wines, while looking as pale as Pinot Noir.
Nebbiolo is an old, old grape, first being mentioned as far back as the 13th century, and is an incredibly fussy variety to grow. It flowers early, ripens late, and struggles to ripen fully. It is thought to take its name from “nebbia,” an Italian word for the fog that drapes the hills further restricting its ability to ripen in the growing season.
