"Vineyard: Gattera; Location: La Morra; Exposition: South; Vine Variety: Nebbiolo 100%; Vinification and refining: Fermentation and maceration go on for about 10 days in temperature - controlled tanks, using native yeasts. Afterwards, “submerged cap fermentation” follows. In this special type of fermentation, the grape skins are kept in contact with the must, for about 3 to 4 weeks time. The wine is eventually transferred into large wood barrels; Tasting notes: Ruby red colour with brick-like hues. It’s traditional to the nose, with reminiscences of ripe fruits and chocolate. A full-bodied wine with great structure, elegant in its tannin and very persistent."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
