| Community Tasting Notes (average 86 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by yofog on 6/11/2014 & rated 86 points: Fun nose, but the alcohol shows quite a bit, and it wasn't listed as being all that high. Some decent fruit and licorice up front, but fades quickly to an astringent and hollow finish. (1569 views) | | | Tasted by gfwetzel on 5/27/2013 & rated 80 points: The first thing you smell is alcohol which overwhelms everything else. Black cherry and cassis on the palate (with more alcohol). Slightly acidic and somewhat bitter on the finish. (1851 views) |
| Fiorenzo Nada Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.
