Situated in the northwest corner of Italy, distinctive chalky soils show the best growing areas on the hillsides running down from the Alps where the climate produces enough summer heat to ripen Italy’s most famous grape, Nebbiolo.  Nebbiolo is at late ripener that ages brilliantly, producing wine of excellent acidity, high tannins, and rare subtlety, perfumed with aromas of tar, rose, mint, chocolate, and licorice.  Winexpert’s Italian Piedmont Nebbiolo d’Alba has a rich mouth-feel and spicy fruit flavors such as cherries, violets, and black licorice that deliver the true character of the grape, finishing with rich, chewy, deep, and long-lasting flavor.  Nebbiolo is perfect with lamb, grilled steak, and rib-sticking stews as well as dry, aged cheeses that may be too strong or distinctive for other wines.
