Nebbiolo
makes wine with a distinct brown colour. The wines are usually long
lived and often reward cellaring for a decade or so.
In some ways Nebbiolo wines resemble Pinot Noirs in the way that they
age into wines with soft rich tannins. The wines have rich flavours
with a nose most often described as 'tar and roses'.
Some other flavours and aromas to look for are spicy, chocolate, leathery and earthy flavours. Think of a forest floor.

Nebbiolo is notoriously difficult to grow well and for Australian red wine drinkers the first taste is often a bit unexpected, as the colour, aroma and mouthfeel are quite different from the Shiraz most of us were brought up drinking.

Nebbiolo takes its name from the fog (nebbia) that swirls around the Piedmontese hills at harvest time. All the
literature suggests that not only is Nebbiolo difficult to grow well in
Australia, but that it can be challenging for the palate of Australian
wine-drinkers. We say 'Challenge away!'. The aroma of Nebbiolo is compared to ‘tar and roses’ and the variety 'typically
produces rich and powerful wines with high levels of acidity, alcohol and
tannins ... a distinct brown colour which is appropriately
accompanied by flavours of earth, chocolate, leather and spice' says experimental wine website Different Drop.
Multi-award winning winery Ballandean Estate produces Nebbiolo, and Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi has this to say about the temperamental variety:
'We planted
our vines about 20 years ago and have had our ups an down with the variety. In
saying that, we are planting a little more of this variety this year to top up
our volume, so I guess you could say,we have faith in the variety
'The wine we
produce at Ballandean Estate is usually quite tannic with the characteristic
“orange” tinge of the meniscus and the flavour is bold and fruit driven.
It is not a wine to be taken lightly and definitely a ‘food friendly’
style. Served with a flavoursome pasta dish and you would swear you were
in Italy.
'With the
success of the Strangebird wine trail, we are confident that our next release,
2014 Nebbiolo will delight the adventurous wine tasters of the region.'
We're looking forward to it, Leeanne! Other producers in the region include Boireann Estate and Symphony Hill.
