Appellation Gattinara - DOC - History and Wines

The Gattinara appellation, located in the prestigious wine region of Piedmont in Italy, is designated as DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata). Renowned for its robust red wines, this appellation primarily focuses on the Nebbiolo grape variety. The unique terroir of Gattinara, composed of volcanic soils and alluvial deposits, imparts the wines with remarkable complexity and structure. Gattinara wines are noted for their longevity, developing subtle aromas of black cherry, violet, truffle, and spices over time.

The continental climate of the region, with its hot summers and cold winters, is ideal for the optimal ripening of Nebbiolo, producing wines with vibrant acidity and powerful tannins. These characteristics make Gattinara wines an excellent choice for wine cellars, as they continue to improve with extended ageing. Wine enthusiasts appreciate these vintages for their ability to complement rich dishes like roasts, game, and matured cheeses.

For optimal management of your wine cellar, be sure to include a few bottles of Gattinara DOC to enjoy its exceptional richness and finesse.
