| THE STORY | |||||||

"...the most dynamic winemaker [in Gattinara] is Rosanna Antoniolo with markedly improved single-vineyard wines...Rosanna Antoniolo is a driving force behind the recovery in Gattinara..." -- Burton Anderson, The Wine Atlas of Italy
The small DOCG of Gattinara is located north of the Barolo/ Barbaresco zones in the Alpine foothills close to Lago Maggiore. The soils of this region are more acidic than those of the Langhe, which, paired with the cooler climate and altitude, results in highly fragrant, elegant wines at their best in hot years. Few estates remain in this historic northerly zone, but tenacious Antoniolo, established in 1949, is surely the most dynamic; Antoniolo was the first producer in the DOCG to bottle cru wines, and is one of the only to bottle 100% Nebbiolo without blending in other varietals. Proprietress Rosanna Antoniolo owns over 14 hectares of vineyards in five plots, and son, Alberto and daughter, Lorella, third generation Antoniolos now supervise every stage of winemaking. It’s a long story how we were able to procure this beautifully drinking Gattinara. The most important part is the fact that we were able to buy it at a substantial discount – passing along the savings to you. This is an outstanding deal on an Italian classic. | |||||||

“Here's a young, vital, impressive 100% Cabernet. It's dry, full-bodied and rich in classic flavors of blackberries, black currants, graphite and minerals, wrapped into silky tannins. Superb oak integration lends notes of vanilla and sandalwood. Just gorgeous in the mouth, filled with class and elegance. Now-2014, at least.”

LAST CHANCE OF THIS INCREDIABLE SUPER TUSCAN

“Deep red color, with mild garnet nuances. Very complex aroma on the nose, with spicy hints of tobacco and coffee, as well as fruity notes of blackberry jam. On the palate the structure is powerful, warm and soft, with a pleasant note of vanilla in the end. Enjoyable now yet endowed with great aging potential.” Winery
