The name Nebbiolo' derives from the word fog' and there could be two reasons. The first hypothesis traces the name of Nebbiolo back to the obscured, almost clouded appearance of the grape, covered with abundant bloom. The second hypothesis, more suggestive, is linked to the very late ripening of the grapes: the Nebbiolo grape harvest often takes place in late October, when the vineyards are enveloped in morning mists. Pairs with aged cheeses, red meat, richearthy dishes, truffle risotto, pasta with sausages and mushrooms. Braised or roasted meats.
