More nebbleskarfer from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. The Val d'Ossolane is the far NW pointy area of the Piemonte that sticks out into the Val d'Aosta. There are so0me who think the Val d'Ossolane was the original home of Nebb in the Piemonte & it migrated East into AltaPiemonte and South into B/B. Most people regard Prunent as a clone or sub-variety of Nebb. But Prunent was mentioned in the area back in the early 14'th century (1309).
Garrone leads an organization to revive the fortunes of Prunent in the area. But have have never had another Prunent from any other producer. Their Prunent comes from their oldest vines, some of which are a century old & own-rooted.
