She traces its ancient roots back to the year 1266, explores where its name likely comes from, and explains why this grape has such a devoted following among wine lovers and WSET students alike. From there, Joanne walks through what makes Nebbiolo such a demanding grape to grow, why it needs the best possible vineyard sites, and what gives the wine its signature combination of pale color and towering tannin. She also tackles the popular comparison between Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir, explaining where the similarities end and why the two are not related at all. The episode wraps up with a look at where Nebbiolo is planted around the world, why it remains so concentrated in Italy, and an introduction to Langhe Nebbiolo as an accessible way to explore the grape without the price tag of Barolo or Barbaresco.
