Nebbiolo is one the hardest varieties to get right, when grown outside of its homeland of Piedmont. Saying that this wine from Trentham absolutely nails it: the perfume of red fruits, and roses together with the crisp acidity make this an ideal everyday Nebbiolo with excellent varietal typicity.

This Month's Mixed Cases

The Country

Australia

Australia

The UK is Australia's largest market by volume and second only to France in terms of countries in this market. There is no denying that the British love affair, which began in the 1980s, still continues. However, still the vast majority of what we see here, 85%, is bulk shipped. The nation struggles to celebrate its best wines and producers.

At Noble Grape we seek out the best that the Australia can offer and shout its regional diversity from the rooftops. Dowie Doole from McLaren Vale is one of the stars of our range. One of James Halliday's 5-star wineries, and offers incredible value for money.

Henschke is one of Australia's Crown Jewels. Now in their 6th generation of the Henschke family, the estate is most known for its old vines Shirazs from Eden Valley, culminating with Hill of Grace, one of the world's finest wines made from this variety.

Cool climate is all the rage now, and we have been seeking out delicious examples from Coonawarra, Yarra Valley and elsewhere. These wines smash the notion that Oz is all about big, jammy, alcoholic wines, bringing a degree of refreshment and sense of terroir.

Italian Grape Varieties in Australia

Being an Italian Specialist, we are always seeking out wines throughout the world made from Italian grape varieties. The place that we having most success in is Australia. Maybe it's the climate, or perhaps it's having a ready made market in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney with high densities of Italian populations, that these wines have gained such a footing so far from their ancestral home.

Italy's two main black varieties, Nebbiolo and Sangiovese are both well represented here, but we are also finding great examples of Nero d'Avola, Fiano, and Montepulciano.

The Grape Variety

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is a black grape variety primarily grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is considered one of Italy's most important and noble grape varieties and used to produce some of the country's finest and most sought-after wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco, and the now fashionable wines of Alto Piemonte.

Nebbiolo grapes produce wines that are typically full-bodied and high in tannins, with high acidity and complex flavours that often include notes of cherry, violet, liquorice, and truffles. The wines are known for their ability to age well, sometimes for decades, and for their intense aromas and flavours.

Nebbiolo is a sensitive grape variety that requires specific growing conditions to thrive. It prefers sloping vineyards on southeast-southwest exposed sites and well-drained soils, such as those found in the Langhe region. The variety is also grown in smaller quantities in other regions of Italy, as well as in some other countries, notably the USA, Australia, and Argentina. However, Nebbiolo wines produced outside of Piedmont are often quite different in style from their Italian counterparts, rarely with the same degree of nobility.
