Nebbiolo is a revered red wine grape variety primarily grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It's renowned for producing some of Italy's most esteemed wines, notably Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are characterized by their pale ruby color, complex aromas of roses, violets, tar, and dried fruits, and a distinctively tannic structure. With high acidity and often high alcohol content, Nebbiolo wines can be quite powerful and age-worthy, developing deeper flavors and softer tannins over time. Its name is derived from the Italian word "nebbia," meaning fog, which is a common occurrence in the Piedmont region during the grape's late harvest season.
