Nebbiolo
A paradox in a glass, Nebbiolo is as light in color as it is formidable in structure. Aromas of dried roses, tar, and red cherry lead to a palate of stern tannins and high acidity—demanding patience, yet rewarding in spades. Barolo and Barbaresco, its most famed expressions, evolve from taut and austere to hauntingly complex, revealing layers of truffle, anise, and dried herbs. When young, it grips the palate with authority; when aged, it unfurls with grace. Nebbiolo is the epitome of slow-burning beauty—uncompromising in its youth, but capable of near-mystical elegance with time.
