Notes/Comments: The Nebbiolo is a red wine grape varietal predominately grown in Piedmount region and makes up the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. The name “Nebbiolo” is thought to derive its name from the Italian word “nebbia” which means “fog”. During harvest, a deep, intense fog sets into the Langhe region where many Nebbiolo vineyards are located. Rarely found in Niagara, the grapes in this wine were sourced from our Estate vineyard atop the Niagara Escarpment. The grapes were hand picked, sorted and aged 70 months in oak barrels
