THE GRAPE 
Nebbiolo.


THE WINE
The roots of the Gattinara Nebbiolo vines lie in volcanic soils from a supervolcano that was active 250-300 million years ago and its crater measured over 20km. The soils are rich in iron. The Gattinara flavour is austere, mineral and has wonderful aromas. Bouquet of roses and violets, dried fruits and spices. On the palate, dry and austere, with soft tannins. Anticipated aging 15 years and more. It pairs well with venison, red meats and cheeses. Aged for 24 months in 500 liter French Oak Casks from which the wine acquires its fragrances and that elegance then further refining in the bottle.
