Description
Gattinara’s unique character is defined by its complex volcanic-origin soils, which are rocky and porous. The steep hillsides are difficult to cultivate, and the vineyards are tended almost entirely by hand.
The Nebbiolo grape thrives in these demanding conditions, producing small, compact bunches. Wines made from 100% Nebbiolo here are austere and structured, with strong tannins and abundant character and complexity.
Traditional winemaking techniques and meticulous care preserve the wine’s intensity, elegance, and remarkable ageing potential.
