Since 1967, Gattinara has been distinguished as a Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC), and it ascended to the rank of Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) in 1990. This achievement places it among the first wines in Italy to boast this distinction. The excellence of Gattinara DOCG lies in the rigorous selection of Nebbiolo, which forms the heart of its identity, making up more than 90% of the blend, and is skillfully complemented by touches of Vespolina and Uva Rara for a rich and complex aromatic profile.
Our Nebbiolo Coste Della Sesia DOC, Gattinara DOCG, Gattinara DOCG Riserva, and Gattinara DOCG Riserva CESARE are all made with 100% Nebbiolo Grapes.
The characteristic Nebbiolo cluster, with its pyramidal shape and intensely violet grapes, may derive its name from the thin “bloom” that envelops it or, poetically, from the fog that kisses the vineyards at dawn in October, the harvest period.
The daily care and attention to detail, both in the vineyard and the cellar, allow us to preserve the essence of this vineyard, making each bottle of Gattinara DOCG a masterpiece of taste, tradition, and innovation.
