Nebbiolo is the most sought-after red grape of the Piedmont region of Italy, most often seen on our shores bottled as Barolo and Barbaresco. The aromatics are reminiscent of violets and rose petals, with a hint of black tea leaf. Don't let the traditional light color fool you; Nebbiolo is one of the most acidic red wines around, aging often over ten years with grace, style and flair. This wine displays the characteristic firm tannin structure and rich silky texture of wines from those European appellations, while delivering deep, bright red cherry and licorice on the palate, finishing with fine black tea notes. Pair this wine with a full-flavored mushroom risotto, grilled or smoked meats or eggplant parmesan.
