Gattinara DOCG 2019 Torraccia del Piantavigna

Gattinara by Torraccia del Piantavigna is produced with pure Nebbiolo grapes from five hectares of vineyards located in the Municipality of Gattinara.

With soils of volcanic origin and using low yields, the manual harvest during the first half of October ensures healthy grapes for traditional vinification in the cellar. After maceration and fermentation, the wine ages in French and Slovenian oak barrels for at least 4 years before refining a further 6 months in the bottle.

Ruby red in colour tending towards orange, it has hints of flowers and red fruits, from violet to blackberry jam. Spicy notes of cardamom and pepper precede a harmonious and enveloping taste with ripe and silky tannins. Great structure and a vibrant body, integrate roundness and long persistence.

Perfect to accompany red meats, braised meats, polenta with mushrooms, game and aged cheeses.
