What Grape Variety Is Used To Make Nebbiolo?

Hint, it’s in the name. Nebbiolo is the name of the grape variety used to make this stunning Italian varietal.

The Nebbiolo grape is very picky about where it grows, but has proven to love Australia’s fertile soil and bright growing seasons.

Where is Nebbiolo from?

Originating in northern Italy, this wine is famously made in northern Italy’s Piedmont wine region, in the village of Barolo. When made in Barolo, this wine is called Barolo. So why isn’t it called Barolo when made in Australia? This is because Barolo is a namesake. Like Champagne can only be called Champagne if it is made in Champagne in France, Barolo can only be called Barolo if it is made in the Barolo region of Italy. Wow, that sentence was a mouthful.

So effectively that means that Barolo made outside of the region must be called another name, and in Australia that name is Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo is the grape variety that this bold, powerful and tannic red is made from, so it seems fitting.
