This is old-school Nebbiolo from northern Piedmont, made by the grower families who have kept Gattinara's hillsides farmed for more than a century. It's also a great way to drink serious Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo without paying Barolo prices. Cantina Sociale di Gattinara was founded in 1908 so small growers could stay independent and keep working their land. Today forty families each farm their own plots, about 15 hectares in all on the zone's volcanic soils, with fruit coming from a dozen named vineyards between 290 and 425 metres. As is house practice, grapes are picked by hand and destemmed, then given a soft pressing. It's a small operation, too: the cooperative turns out only about 2,000 cases a year.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Panissa (Vercelli's rice with beans and salami), beef braised in Nebbiolo, agnolotti del plin with roast juices, tajarin with porcini, roast duck, aged Toma or Castelmagno.

Tasting Profile

Expect classic Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo: red cherry, dried violets and a hint of tar, with the iron-tinged, earthy minerality typical of Gattinara's volcanic soils. It's typically medium-bodied, with firm, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, finishing dry, savoury and long. Think of a leaner, more mineral take on Barolo, built to age.
