Nebbiolo reigns as Italy’s premier native grape, serving as the backbone of renowned wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Lessona, Ghemme, Boca, Sfursat, and many others. Despite its acclaim, Nebbiolo remains steadfastly loyal to its native terroir, rarely venturing beyond Italian borders, although recent years have seen a gradual increase in plantings outside Italy.
One of Nebbiolo’s distinctive features lies in its anthocyanin profile, boasting a significant proportion of peonin and cyanic compounds. This unique composition contributes to the lighter hue of Nebbiolo wines and their relatively delicate coloration over time, often evolving to a distinguished garnet shade at a faster rate.
Renowned Nebbiolo growing regions such as Brunate, Bussia, Cannubi, Cerequio, Rocche dell’Annunziata, Rocche di Castiglione Falletto, and Vigna Rionda are revered as Nebbiolo’s Grand Cru areas, revered for producing wines of exceptional quality and character.
