Barolo? no...Nebbiolo!




Nebbiolo has to be one of my favorite grapes. In Pedimote, Nebbiolo wines are everywhere and they are very inexpensive. For those who do not know, Barolo, "the king of Italian wines" is made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes. At home we can buy Barolo easily but be ready to pay at least $75 minimum when you are out. Here you can get Barolo for half the price but what is better are the countless bottles of "Nebbiolo" you can find for a song! I will miss the selection of local Pidmonte wines they have on every corner once I am home. I am excited to get home and have some California and Argentina wines but I will miss my Nebbiolo! A presto tutti!!!
