The Gattinara Riserva is made only in the best vintages. A careful selection of grapes is harvested in the begining of October.
The grapes are crushed and then left to macerate on the skins for around 15 days before fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged on Slavonian oak for 42 months and then spends a year in bottle pre release.
Deep garnet ruby-red colour, it is a full and harmonic wine, the bouquet verges on dried fruit, violet, blackberry, raspberry with hints of spices coming form the barrels. I’m a huge fan of this wine! 13.5% vol
