Washington Nebbiolo vs. Barolo

The route for the 2018 Giro d' Italia was announced recently and the final week of the race is sure to bring some fireworks.  The race finishes up in Northern Italy featuring some of the most classic climbs including the Finestre, Sestrie and Zocolon.  Here is a preview of 5 decisive stages for this year's race.

Not only is Northern Italy home to some of the most spectacular bike racing, it is also home to one of my favorite grapes; Nebbiolo!

This Lucha Vino challenge commemorates the pro cyclists battles in Northern Italy with a matchup between Washington Nebbiolo and Italian Barolo.
