Returning in January 2024 is the event highlighting the regal Nebbiolo grape variety in the Capital: NEBBIOLO IN THE HEART.
The event this year will reach a coveted milestone, built by the agency Riserva Grande with determination and much commitment, year after year: its TENTH EDITION.
All enthusiasts, wine-lovers, eno-addicts and industry professionals of the beloved Nebbiolo grape variety will be welcomed on January 13 and 14, 2024 at the Grand Hotel Palatino in Rome, located at 213/M Via Cavour.
The mission of Nebbiolo in the Heart
The very name of the event underscores its strong connection with the identity of this noble grape variety and expresses its deep passion towards the different declinations of Nebbiolo.
Nebbiolo in the Heart e is an initiative that allows visitors not only to taste Nebbiolo expressed in its many fascinating types, but also represents a cultural commitment to the promotion of this extraordinary grape variety and its chosen lands.
“Nebbiolo nel Cuore” returns to Rome for its 10th anniversary edition. Ten years of enhancing Nebbiolo through its prestigious territories of choice. Through dedicated tasting tables and masterclasses, once again we will be able to discover the potential of the new vintages that will be presented and new wineries that will participate in the event for the first time – declares Marco Cum, owner of Riserva Grande and creator and patron of Nebbiolo nel Cuore. – As always, didactics will be prevalent, with extraordinary master classes aimed at recounting the absolute richness of these lands. Culture, faces, smiles, traditions, life experiences, stories, emotions-this is Nebbiolo in the Heart.
The Italian wine territory is a treasure trove of varieties, each linked to its characteristic terroirs, all the more so when it comes to Nebbiolo. Through this event, it is intended to emphasize theimportance of enhancing and preserving the diversity of the wine heritage of this extraordinary grape, which the whole world envies us.
Masterclasses and tasting tables will be the beating heart of this enhancement, made to deepen and appreciate the different territorial nuances of Nebbiolo.
The previous edition welcomed more than 2,000 participants, a passionate community of operators and Nebbiolo lovers who made the event a unique experience.
Nebbiolo territories present at the event
As in previous editions, the tenth Nebbiolo nel Cuore will give visitors the opportunity to take a journey through the lands where the noble grape variety expresses itself in all its different and fascinating nuances.
From Roero to Barbaresco and Barolo; from Gattinara and Ghemme to Boca and Lessona; from Bramaterra and Fara to Sizzano, to the Ossola Valleys; from the Novara Hills to the Coste della Sesia; from Valle D’Aosta to Valtellina, to Monferrato, Carema and Canavese; and to the other micro realities in which it is valued in our territory, including the small but striking production of Sardinia.
This year, as a first, we are pleased to announce that a company from Serbia will also be present. This international presence will make the experience even richer and more varied.

The Nebbiolo App Guide
Riserva Grande during this tenth edition will present the new and innovative GUIDE ON NEBBIOLO and its territories of excellence. A real VADEMECUM for its users, made by means of anAPP: “THE NEBBIOL.”
The idea was born thanks to the long experience gained during the various editions of Nebbiolo nel Cuore, the sharing, friendship and support of all the participating producers, who have made the events created year after year better and better.
For this reason, the APP will be closely linked to the event and will be created with the intention of providing an overview of Nebbiolo that is user-friendly and within the reach of all those who would like to learn more about it, beyond the usual annual appointment at the tasting tables.
The guide, the draft of which was presented during the ninth edition of Nebbiolo nel Cuore, required the work of a qualified editorial team and the invaluable contribution of experienced and competent external commissioners, which lasted a whole year.
THE NEBBIOLO GUIDE is a true virtual guide, interactive and constantly evolving, whose content and external links will constantly expand the opportunities for its use.
“The guide represents a practical, easily searchable tool that has the priority and cultural purpose of conveying the most in-depth knowledge of the lands, production and producers of Nebbiolo. – Marco Cum states about this project – But it will also be a useful app for travelers who are passionate about Nebbiolo and want to visit the places where the great grape variety is produced.”
For these purposes, not only the macro-areas but also all the sub-areas of production of the grape variety are given in the guide in great detail and specificity, as well as fact sheets and reviews of the wines tasted and all useful directions for visiting participating wineries.
The presentation
THE NEBBIOLO GUIDE will be officially presented on Sunday, 14.01.23 at 12 noon, also in the presence of the ACCREDITED PRESS.
During the presentation, diplomas will be presented to the producers of the labels that received the following awards of excellence:
- The COUP DE COUER – the guide’s highest award for those wines that, in addition to having obtained the highest score, awarded with the GOLD GRAPPLE, have manifested a unique and exclusive character, so much so that they arouse a strong emotional impact.
- THE GOLD GRAPLE – wines that received the highest score (the grapples awarded were bronze, silver or gold).
In addition to these outstanding wines, awards will be given to the wines that represent, at their best, certain evaluation categories adopted in the guide (represented by relative icons), THREE for each of the following categories:
- TERRITORIALITY – wines that are distinguished by their ability to best express their territory of origin, a characteristic that makes them recognizable and unique.
- EVOLUTION – wines with sensory characteristics that need further aging to fully express the full expressive potential, however, already present at the time of tasting.
- EQUILIBRIOUS – wines with excellent overall drinkability, thanks to the perfect balance between the taste sensations of hardness and softness.
- VERSATILITY – wines with excellent ability to be paired with a wide variety of different dishes.
