The most important grape in Italy's north-western Piedmont region, Nebbiolo is the King/Queen of grapes and the grape for Kings and Queens. Known for its signature perfume of tar, roses, violets and vibrant fruits that are always wrapped in trademark tannin, it is where every wine lover will find an otherworldly experience. This is especially true in the regions of Barolo and Barbaresco, but we are just as excited these days by the Alpine freshness of Alto-Piemonte and, of course, the emerging wonder of Australian Nebbiolo.

Alpine herbs and mountain freshness in a frame of light colour and structure. 

2022 Olek Bondonio ‘White Label’ Langhe Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy

2022 Alessandro Salvano ‘DWNL’ Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy

Alessandro was born into the vinous world with both of his grandparents being winemakers. In 2019 Alessandro begun making his own wine, purchasing some fruit from his uncle’s vineyard in Montelupo Albese, an unprestigious ‘outside-the-Barolo-zone’ region to the east of Serralunga, inspiring the 'Drink Wine, Not Labels' mantra. Freshness, vivacity and exuberant energy define the wines and being only the third vintage, the future is incredibly bright here.100% whole bunch nebbiolo. In the mouth it's fine-boned and filigreed, but not without hallmark nebbiolo tannin, albeit approachable in its youth.
