Most famously known as the grape that produces the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco wines in the Piedmont region, nebbiollo wines are full-bodied with robust tannins and high acidity. They make for excellent food pairs, standing up well to rich meats, cheeses and root vegetables. 

Paula, together with partner Radley Steel, began Pipan Steel in 2008 out of a shared passion to craft authentic Nebbiolo in Australia’s cool-climate Alpine Valleys. Located at Mudgegonga, three and a half hours from Melbourne, their vineyard sits on a northeast slope at around 400 m elevation, with decomposed granite soils and cool winter fog (nebbia) reminiscent of Barolo. They’ve certainly succeeded in their mission, receiving critical acclaim and industry recognition as a benchmark for premium nebbiolo in Australia, including being shortlisted Best New Winery by the Halliday Wine Companion in 2022.
