(Chiavennasca): Taken from the word Nebbia (fog) this wine is named after the thick fogs that happen in Piedmont in October during harvest. Nebbiolo has a long history and has always been a noble grape with a lot of importance. So much so that if you were to destroy a Nebbiolo vine you would have to face severe penalties, like loosing a hand or something like that.
Nebbiolo is a very fussy grape it is the first one to bud and the last one to ripen and is a varietal that has very thin delicate skins. For best results Nebbiolo likes calcareous marl for soil.
Nebbiolo depending on the clone (Lampia, Michet, or Rosé) is very sensitive to viruses.
