MOSBY Nebbiolo 

Immediately noticeable is the Nebbiolo’s distinct nose of rose petal and spice—an enticing promise awaiting the palate. Then the taste . . .  the Nebbiolo delivers the olfactory promise. This is an exciting wine with an exotic and mysterious nature. Nebbiolo is the grape of Barolo, Barbaresco, and Gattinara. With origins in the Piedmont region of Italy, Nebbiolo wine has been revered for more than 700 years.Named for the mists—the nebbia—that settle over the vineyards during the cool mornings of Piedmont’s harvest season, the Nebbiolo is probably the most difficult grape in the world to grow successfully. And like the mists, it is temperamental and unpredictable.

Bill Mosby grows and produces one of the finest Nebbiolo wines outside of Italy. The Nebbiolo vine’s terroir sensitivity means limited sources for the wine worldwide. And there are only a few areas inside and outside the Piedmont conducive to its cultivation—one select hillside of the Mosby vineyards, Sori-101, for example.

The Mosby Nebbiolo delivers its full-bodied character with a sensual passion steeped in intensity. This wine seduces with a lingering nose of wild roses amidst a field of cinnamon, clove and ripe berries . . . penetrating the palate as glistening tar on a hot country road, on which a Tango of rosemary and thyme is danced in simmering cream. The finish? Long and memorable—a dusty cashmere in early autumn . . .
