Collection: Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is a grape that rewards patience. Pale in colour but powerful in structure, it combines floral aromas with firm tannins, bright acidity and the ability to age for decades. Barolo and Barbaresco may be its best-known expressions, but wherever Nebbiolo is grown well, it produces wines with unmistakable character.



Nebbiolo is one of Italy’s most celebrated and characterful red grape varieties, best known for producing the famous wines of Barolo and Barbaresco in Piemonte. Despite its relatively pale colour, Nebbiolo is capable of producing some of the country’s most structured and long-lived wines, combining firm tannin, bright acidity and highly expressive aromatics with remarkable ageing potential.

The grape is deeply tied to north-west Italy, particularly the fog-covered hills of Piemonte, though it is also grown in Alpine regions such as Valtellina where cooler mountain conditions create fresher and more mineral expressions. Depending on site and winemaking style, Nebbiolo can range from powerful and cellar-worthy to lighter and more approachable styles designed for earlier drinking.

Our Nebbiolo range focuses on expressive growers producing wines with freshness, balance and terroir character, from classic Barolo and Barbaresco to Alpine Nebbiolo, Langhe Nebbiolo and lower-intervention bottlings. Alongside traditional producers, the collection also includes modern winemakers working with gentler extraction, organic farming and more transparent approaches in both vineyard and cellar.

Expect flavours of cherry, rose petal, tar, dried herbs, orange peel and savoury spice alongside wines shaped by bright acidity and distinctive tannic structure. Whether you’re looking for structured fine wine for ageing or fresher everyday Nebbiolo with vibrant fruit and energy, Nebbiolo remains one of the most rewarding and unmistakable grape varieties in the wine world.
