Nebbiolo is a black grape variety that lives almost exclusively in Italy. It is a thick-skinned grape known for both high tannin and acidity. Nebbiolo is most-commonly associated with Northern Italy’s Piemonte region where it has grown since at least the 13th century.\n \n The Nebbiolo grapes are hand-harvested during the first fortnight in October and stripped for fermentation with maceration on the grape skins for 10 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in oak casks for about six months and finally in stainless steel tanks.
