That rules out Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Grenache, Syrah (except in Hermitage), Grenache, Mourvèdre, Tempranillo and the Portuguese varieties. Much as I love Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur-Champigny, it rarely is really great, so I disqualify Cabernet franc.
That leaves Nebbiolo easily in second place with Sangiovese following some way behind.
