NEBBIOLO D’ALBA DOC

21.00

Born in the Albesi hills, an elegant wine with a great personality born from an ancient vine that has always been linked to Piedmont’s history and traditions. There are traces of the “Nibiol grapes” since 1266. It is said to have been called this because it ripens late, just as the first fogs arrive in the Roero hills. For others its name evokes the patina that covers its berries, which resembles the color of the fog. A wine of royal fate, it was liked by Federico Barbarossa, as well as Carlo Alberto of Savoy, who wanted to produce it in his wineries in Pollenzo. Noble red with reflections of garnets, it continues to be loved for its spicy, roasting and notes cocoa powder, and for its full and undoubtedly inimitable taste.
