Gattinara DOCG
Summary
Small Nebbiolo based DOCG in Piemonte’s north-west. Once more popular than the wines of Barolo, the wines of today sit in the shadow of its now more famous neighbour. These bold wines are age-worthy with single vineyard expressions the norm rather than the exception, and represent wines of great value. A small percentage of local varieties are permitted in blends, which is helpful in cooler vintages. Although, with a warming climate, this practice is less required.
