Nebbiolo Prima 2013 – the guide

Tuesday 9 July 2013 • 1 min read

The fourth anniversary of Nebbiolo Prima, held in Alba, brings us yet another feast of articles from Walter Speller, who braved the wall of tannins and acidity to bring us the great, the good, the bad and the ugly on this most Piemontese grape. Jancis also managed to squeeze in a glorious weekend of Barolo (not all en primeur, but so good it can't be left out), and adds her tasting notes and musings.

The list of articles below shows the most recent first.
