Vallana Gattinara DOCG 2021

A Nebbiolo from Vallana, made in the Piedmontese commune of Gattinara on the right bank of the Sesia, in subalpine country at the foot of Monte Rosa, on soils of volcanic and glacial origin. The grapes are picked by hand and vinified in concrete vats. The wine then matures for at least two years in oak barrels and rests in bottle for several months before release. It is long-lived and austere, with firm but well-integrated tannins. It is garnet red in the glass. The nose shows elegant, complex spice and fruit, and the palate is refined and deep. It suits roast or grilled red meats, game and aged cheeses.
