Nebbiolo: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

Nebbiolo is primarily associated with the Piedmont region in north-western Italy, where it forms the basis of the DOCG wines [[Barolo]] and [[Barbaresco]]. The Langhe hills, particularly around the communes of La Morra, Monforte d’Alba and Barbaresco, provide the optimal combination of soil, altitude and exposure for its cultivation<ref>Masnaghetti, ''Barolo MGA: The Barolo Great Vineyards Encyclopedia'', Enogea, 2018, p. 12. (Italian original)</ref>. Additional Piedmontese appellations such as Gattinara, Ghemme and Roero also feature Nebbiolo as the dominant or sole grape<ref>Gambero Rosso, ''Vini d’Italia 2024'', Gambero Rosso Editore, 2023, p. 390. (Italian original)</ref>.

Beyond Piedmont, Nebbiolo is grown in the Valtellina region of Lombardy, where it is known locally as Chiavennasca. In this alpine environment, it produces lighter-bodied yet aromatic wines under appellations such as Valtellina Superiore and Sforzato di Valtellina<ref>Cavallo, ''Il Nebbiolo e i suoi cru'', Slow Food Editore, 2002, p. 77. (Italian original)</ref>.

Internationally, the variety has seen limited but growing interest in countries such as the United States, particularly in California's Central Coast and Sierra Foothills, and in parts of Australia, notably Victoria. However, outside its native environment, Nebbiolo remains challenging to cultivate due to its sensitivity to site and climate<ref>Maul & Töpfer, “Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC): Nebbiolo profile”, www.vivc.de.
