This grape variety's name likely derives from nebbia (mist) due to the abundant bloom that covers the ripe grapes. This grape's cradle lies in the Alba hills. The grape variety includes the Bolla, Michet, Lampia, and Rosè subvarieties. It is a moderately vigorous vine that prefers well-exposed, marly soils. The resulting wines are always fruity and suitable for aging. Aged in wood (minimum one year required by the regulations), the flavors mellow and the aromas are enriched.
