Thornton Nebiolo, 2001 (Temecula Valley, 2001)

This entry was posted on 11/27/2008 1:31 PM and is filed under California and new world, Barolo and Barbaresco, Italian wines, Piedmont.

I had no idea that anyone was trying to grow Nebiolo in Southern California.  This grape that is indigineous to the Piedmont region of northern Italy has not been grown with success in any other locale that I am aware of.

This Temecula Nebiolo was entirely drinkable, but not at all representative of the Italian real thing.

2.5 stars
