Nebbiolo grapes take their name from the fog (nebbia) that shrouds hillside Piedmontese vineyards at harvest. Notoriously demanding to grow, they require sheltered south-facing sites with well drained chalky soil, but yield grapes with high tannins, good extract and very importantly for this long-lived style, bracing acidity for structure and aging potential.

Medium in body with a luminous dark cherry color, Winexpert World Vineyard Barolo has rich, spicy fruit and delivers the true character of the grape and land. Typical flavors are cherries, violets, black licorice, and truffles. It finishes with rich, chewy, deep and long-lasting flavor. Burly and assertive, it is not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking intensity and complexity, there is nothing else like Barolo.
