Gattinara DOCG 2016 / 2017 (Nebbiolo) 6 x 75cl

The unique characteristic of Gattinara is its complex soil, of volcanic origin, rocky and porous. The hills are steep and difficult to cultivate and the vineyards are almost totally worked by hand. The Nebbiolo grape is well suited to these conditions. It likes to suffer and the bunches of grapes from Gattinara are small and compact. The wine made with 100% Nebbiolo grapes is an austere wine with strong tannins but masses of character and complexity.

Torraccia of Piantavigna started in the early 1850’s from a small vineyard planted by Peter Piantavigna. They are situated in Ghemme, in Upper Piedmont, at the foot of Monte Rosa, one of the most emblematic Italian mountains.

 

Today they have an area of 38 hectares planted with native grapes of great tradition in the region such as Nebbiolo and Erbaluce. The company produces high quality wines, among which stand out in excellence, the Ghemme and the Gattinara DOCG.

 

Torraccia del Piantavigna wines have been the subject of numerous awards and prizes over the years. A blend of tradition and innovation, applied in the vineyards and in the cellar, results in wines of great calibre.
