Prior to this " modernist " movement, Nebbiolo was often harvested slightly unripe and at high yields which left the grapes with harsh green tannins that had not had time to fully polymerize.

It is made from the Nebbiolo grape and is often described as one of Italy's greatest wines.

The fact that the Nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest.

Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the Nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo.

In general, the traditional approach to Nebbiolo involves long maceration periods of 20 to 30 days and the use of older large botti size barrels.

The modern approach to Nebbiolo utilizes shorter maceration periods of 7 to 10 days and cooler fermentation temperatures between 82-86 ° F ( 28-30 ° C ) that preserve fruit flavors and aromas.

While new oak imparts notes of vanilla, it has the potential to cover up the characteristic rose notes of Nebbiolo.

The Barolo zone is located southwest of the Barbaresco zone with only the vineyards of Diano d ' Alba planted with Dolcetto between the two Nebbiolo strong holds.

The harvest of the late ripening Nebbiolo grape usually takes place in early to mid October though some producers are experimenting with viticultural techniques that allow for an earlier harvest in late September.

Located among the Langhe hills, the Barolo zone is a collection of different mesoclimate, soil types, altitudes and expositions that can have a pronounced effect on the development of the Nebbiolo grape and the resulting Barolo wine.

A cluster of Nebbiolo.

Nebbiolo ( Italian ), or Nebieul ( Piedmontese ) is a red Italian wine grape variety predominantly associated with the Piedmont region where it makes the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita ( DOCG ) wines of Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara and Ghemme.

While Pliny does not explicitly name the grape responsible for these Pollenzo wines, his description of the wine bears similarities to later descriptions of Nebbiolo-based wines, making this potentially the first notation of wine made from Nebbiolo in the Piedmont region.

In the axil of every growing leaf is found a growing spine which when mature is about long, and rather formidable.

The leaf lasts one growing season.

Comfrey is a fast growing plant, producing huge amounts of leaf during the growing season, and hence is very nitrogen hungry.

The gardener can produce his or her own ‘ offsets ’ from mature, strongly growing plants by driving a spade horizontally through the leaf clumps about 3 inches below the soil surface.

By the turn of the century, an agricultural boom in dark leaf tobacco had made Caldwell County, along with Christian County, a major tobacco growing area.

The scientific name has been derived from the Latin word bulbus ( bulb-like ) and the Greek word phyllon ( leaf ), referring to the pseudobulbs on top of which the leaf is growing.

The membranous, cordate simple leaves are spread out, growing alternately along the stem on leaf stalks.

The bizarre flowers are large to medium-sized, growing in the leaf axils.

The traditional method to increase nut production is called ' brutting ', which involves prompting more of the trees ' energy to go into flower bud production, by snapping but not breaking off the tips of the new year's shoots six or seven leaf groups from the join with the trunk or branch, at the end of the growing season.

They have a forward-facing spur, growing on sharp, stout many-leaved stems from the leaf axils and thick roots.

Alder also provides shade to the plants growing below and the leaf fall helps to increase the amount of humus present in the soil.

They are characteristically long, oblong, alternate, or growing opposite one another on non-woody petioles often longer than the leaf, often forming large clumps with age.
