Stefano Vegis Gattinara Riserva DOCG

Tasting notes: this wine showcases a deep garnet color with complex aromas of ripe red fruits, dried herbs, and earthy nuances. On the palate, it offers robust flavors of cherry, plum, and spice, accompanied by a well-integrated tannic structure and a long, persistent finish with notes of tobacco and leather.

Ageing/Vinification: As a Riserva, this Gattinara is aged for a minimum of 48 months, including at least 24 months in oak barrels. This extended ageing period allows the wine to develop greater depth, complexity, and smoothness, with careful attention to traditional vinification methods that preserve the Nebbiolo grape’s character.

Vineyard: The grapes are harvested from carefully selected vineyards within the Gattinara DOCG zone, characterized by its volcanic soil and favorable microclimate. These conditions are ideal for producing high-quality Nebbiolo, imparting the wine with distinctive minerality and rich, nuanced flavors.
