The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale colour, powerful tannins, haunting aromatics of tar, roses, and cherry. Italy's noblest grape.
💡 Pro tip: Start with Langhe Nebbiolo (€12-20) before jumping to Barolo/Barbaresco. The grape also makes excellent wines in Valtellina (Lombardy) and Carema (Alto Piedmont).
Where to start
Buy a bottle of Nebbiolo from a local enoteca, open it with dinner, and let the wine tell you about the region.
