A fully mature single-vineyard Gattinara from the estate that taught Alto Piemonte to bottle its crus separately, in one of Piedmont's ripest and most celebrated vintages. Castelle is a one-hectare parcel on the iron-rich, acidic volcanic soils that set Gattinara apart from the alkaline marl of Barolo — Nebbiolo grown up the Sesia valley below Monte Rosa, at altitude, where cool nights keep the perfume intact. Antoniolo was founded in 1948 by Mario Antoniolo; his daughter Rosanna started bottling the individual vineyards in the 1970s, when nobody in the zone was doing it, and Alberto and Lorella run the estate today. The wine is 100% Nebbiolo, fermented slowly in concrete with native yeasts and given long cask aging before release, from a parcel that yields only a couple hundred cases in a typical year. At nearly thirty years old it is deep in its tertiary phase: stand the bottle upright a day or two ahead, decant gently off the sediment, and drink it that evening.
