    The Cantina del Nebbiolo was founded on September 30, 1959 in Vezza d'Alba by 23 founding members, in the heart of Roero, an extraordinary land of great wines and agricultural tradition. The Roero is a land for centuries suited to viticulture, the environment is suggestive and full of charm; steep hills and gentle slopes all in a frame of mountains as a backdrop.

    The hill dominates this special land, in the winey heart of Piedmont: Alba, the Langhe and Roero, dedicate the best spaces to the vine, next to the truffle, Piedmont hazelnut, Madernassa pear, peaches and strawberries. On both sides of the Tanaro, the vineyards interpret the soil of the hill, the moods of the sky and the skilful fertility of vines such as Arneis, Favorita, Barbera, Bonarda, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Nascetta and Moscato. Earth, sky and vine offer many pleasant and fragrant wines: Roero Arneis, Langhe Favorita and Nascetta, Barbaresco and Barolo, Barbera and Nebbiolo d'Alba, Moscato d'Asti. Each time the toast is festive.

    Responsible for some of the most elegant and age-worthy wines in the world, Nebbiolo, named for the ubiquitous autumnal fog (called nebbia in Italian), is the star variety of northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Grown throughout the area, as well as in the neighboring Valle d’Aosta and Valtellina, it reaches its highest potential in the Piedmontese villages of Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero. Outside of Italy, growers are still very much in the experimentation stage but some success has been achieved in parts of California. Somm Secret—If you’re new to Nebbiolo, start with a charming, wallet-friendly, early-drinking Langhe Nebbiolo or Nebbiolo d'Alba.

    A wine that most perfectly conveys the spirit and essence of its place, Barbaresco is true reflection of terroir. Its star grape, like that in the neighboring Barolo region, is Nebbiolo. Four townships within the Barbaresco zone can produce Barbaresco: the actual village of Barbaresco, as well as Neive, Treiso and San Rocco Seno d'Elvio.

    Broadly speaking there are more similarities in the soils of Barbaresco and Barolo than there are differences. Barbaresco’s soils are approximately of the same two major soil types as Barolo: blue-grey marl of the Tortonion epoch, producing more fragile and aromatic characteristics, and Helvetian white yellow marl, which produces wines with more structure and tannins.

    Nebbiolo ripens earlier in Barbaresco than in Barolo, primarily due to the vineyards’ proximity to the Tanaro River and lower elevations. While the wines here are still powerful, Barbaresco expresses a more feminine side of Nebbiolo, often with softer tannins, delicate fruit and an elegant perfume. Typical in a well-made Barbaresco are expressions of rose petal, cherry, strawberry, violets, smoke and spice. These wines need a few years before they reach their peak, the best of which need over a decade or longer. Bottle aging adds more savory characteristics, such as earth, iron and dried fruit.
