Nebbiolo
A broad Monferrato name for reds, whites and rosés.
Local varieties including Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa and Nebbiolo.
Mostly dry, fresh reds; named grape styles offer more clues, and some Freisa can be gently sweet.
Various white grapes; Cortese leads in the Casalese Cortese style.
Dry, fresh whites, sometimes with a light fizz.
Red grapes grown in the area.
Chiaretto, or Ciaret, is a dry, delicate rosé.
The appellation allows many blends, so there is no single dominant grape across all Monferrato wines.
Monferrato. 1 wine in Germany.
