Nebbiolo Wine Barrel Smoking Chunks – Authentic Italian Oak from Piedmont, Italy
Add rich Italian vineyard flavor to your next cookout with our Nebbiolo Wine Barrel Smoking Chunks, made from 100% genuine oak wine barrels once used to age Nebbiolo wines in Piedmont, Italy — the same region famous for Barolo and Barbaresco.
These premium wine barrel wood chunks deliver a unique, smooth smoke that blends notes of red wine, toasted oak, and subtle fruitiness. Perfect for adding a gourmet touch to your barbecue or smoker, they pair beautifully with beef, pork, lamb, poultry, seafood, and even cheese.
Best Uses in Cooking
Beef: Steaks, tri-tip, or prime rib — adds a refined, fruity depth that complements the richness of the meat.
Pork: Perfect for pork tenderloin, chops, or ribs — the berry notes balance the savory-sweet profile of pork beautifully.
Poultry: Exceptional with turkey, chicken, or Cornish hens — pairs wonderfully with herb rubs or citrus glazes.
Lamb: Elevates lamb chops or roasts — the wine-infused smoke enhances the meat’s natural savoriness.
Seafood: Works well with heartier fish like salmon or tuna — adds complexity without overpowering.
Cheese & Vegetables: Ideal for smoking brie, gouda, or roasted peppers — the subtle wine character adds a gourmet touch.

Nebbiolo Wine Barrel Smoking Chunks – 10 LB Box (3x3 Oak Chunks)
Bring the rich, complex flavors of Italy’s vineyards to your grill or smoker with our 10 LB box of Nebbiolo Wine Barrel Smoking Chunks.
Each 3x3 oak chunk is hand-cut from authentic, retired Nebbiolo wine barrels sourced from the renowned Piedmont region of Italy. These barrels once aged some of the world’s finest wines, and over the years, the wood absorbed their deep, distinctive character.
When used for smoking, they release aromas of rose, red cherry, spice, and toasted oak, infusing your food with a smooth, wine-kissed flavor that’s both bold and refined.
Some pieces feature naturally formed tartrate crystals—potassium bitartrate built up over years inside the barrels, holding the concentrated essence of the wine. When heated, these crystals release a fragrant tang with hints of grape skin, dried fruit, and gentle wine-like sharpness, balanced by a toasty, earthy undertone from the oak.
