Comprised exclusively of grapes grown in the Alto Piedmont, this Vino Rosso is predominantly Nebbiolo grape blended with other local, indigenous grapes. Hand harvesting and aging in Slavonian casks lends to the enticing aroma with its tobacco nose highlighted with hints of cedar. On the palate you are greeted with flavors of red and black berries that instantly dazzle the tongue. From there the wine leads you directly into a gentle finish of firm tannins. Catina Sociale di Gattinara is a “social cellar” of forty wine growing families in the centuries old city of Gattinara. The winery owners in this northern region has given the regional wine growing families a steady path to continued independence and stewardship of their lands by combining resources to produce exceptional wines.
