nebbiolo/ˌnɛbɪˈəʊləʊ/EtymologyBorrowed from Italian nebbiolo, from nebbia (“fog”), after the grapes' appearance.nounA grape variety cultivated in the Langhe, Piedmont.“When my wife and I visited last November, we were a bit baffled when she gave us a nebbiolo — an Italian grape — when we were in the beating heart of South African wine. It turned out, though, that this nebbiolo was grown in South Africa, and it was delightful.”A fine red wine made near Alba from these grapes.
