This is the same grape that goes into Italy's famous and expensive Barolo wines which thrives in the warmth of our Guilford County estate vineyard, resulting in a big, robust red wine. We have only 1/2 an acre (336 vines) of Nebbiolo planted at the winery.
The Nebbiolo always sells out quickly. The 2008 vintage is now available. The 2008 vintage was estate bottled on 1/6/2010 and was aged for 14 months in European oak barrells. This very dry, deep red wine starts with hints of cherry and cream and finishes with spice and roses with a nice balance of acid and fruit. Pairs well with grilled meats.
- The 2007 vintage took a silver medal at the 2009 NC Wine Competition and received a four bottle rating from NCWineTV.
- The 2006 vintage took medals at the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Wine Competition and the 2007 and 2008 NC State Fairs.
- The 2005 Grove Nebbiolo took a silver medal at the 2006 NC State Fair and in the prestigious Atlantic Seaboard Vinifera Wine 2006 Competition.
