I apologize in advance if this question was already addressed elsewhere.
I just purchased the Meglioli Nebbiolo (Barolo) kit with ALLGrape pack. The upgraded grape pack shipped separately and does not appear to be the same varietal as the kit. It's clear that this Grape pack is universally used for all Meglioli red wine kits. It simply states that the contents are "raisins" and "wine grapes" from California - could be Merlot, Cab, who knows but almost certainly NOT Nebbiolo.
With other high end kits, I am accustomed to the grape packs being from the same grapes that produce the juice or at least from the same varietal. This makes sense to me.
My concern is that the addition of a 9 pound pack of generic grapes into this high end kit will turn this Nebbiolo into a less desirable blend. Is my concern warranted?
Would I be better served using the raisins and saving the grape pack for a juice bucket or a less expensive kit?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
