Nebbiolo is one of Italy’s most captivating grape varieties, best known for producing richly expressive wines with a distinctive sense of place. Grown primarily in Piedmont, it is the star behind iconic styles such as Barolo and Barbaresco. The grape is celebrated for its elegant tannins, fragrant red fruit character and that unmistakable, slightly savoury “rose and tar” complexity people often describe as Nebbiolo’s signature.

What makes Nebbiolo especially interesting is its temperament. It often needs time to fully unfold, so young bottles can feel a little firm, while well-cellared wines develop more nuanced aromas such as dried rose, cherry, and subtle spice. Depending on the producer and ageing method, you may also find hints of leather, earthy notes and delicate floral lift.

If you enjoy wines that feel layered rather than straightforward, Nebbiolo is a brilliant choice. It pairs wonderfully with classic Italian dishes like braised meats, slow-cooked ragù, truffle dishes and hard cheeses, where its structure and aroma bring balance.
