What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Winemakers Notes

Nebbiolo is one of the world's great red grape varieties and is grown primarily in the Piemonte and the Valle D'Aosta regions of northern Italy. The best examples of wines made from Nebbiolo are Barolo and Barbaresco. Both wines are from the area around the town of Alba in Piemonte. While one of the world's great red wine grapes, Nebbiolo is one of the rarest and represents only a scant 3% of the total wine production of the Piemonte region. Martin & Weyrich Winery has been growing and producing wines from Nebbiolo since 1982 and has gained a reputation as the foremost producer read more...of Nebbiolo wines in the United States. Martin & Weyrich grows both the Lampia and Michet clones of Nebbiolo and utilizes the fermentation techniques of salasso, punching-down and delestage to obtain maximum extraction of color and flavor from each vintage. Martin & Weyrich also barrel ages the Nebbiolo for up to 1 year in a mix of new and seasoned French Oak barrels and casks. Stylistically, our Nebbiolo captures the intrinsic flavors of Italy - cherry, roses, spice, tar and truffles, combined with our own ripe, forward fruit components that have put California wines in the forefront of wine consumption. Martin Brothers Nebbiolo is a great accompaniment to spicy full flavored dishes as well as smoked meats, tomato based sauces and all game.    (hide)
