Introduction:
The 2022 Gattinara Vino Rosso is a vibrant field blend from a historic cooperative in Alto Piemonte. Crafted by 40 local families using volcanic soils and generational know-how, it delivers red fruit charm with earth-driven clarity in an expressive, accessible style.

Terroir:
Grapes are sourced from small vineyards in Gattinara, Lozzolo, Roasio, and Romagnano Sesia. Soils are volcanic and mineral-rich, while the continental climate lends freshness. The cooperative follows sustainable practices, and makes the wine using traditional techniques, including hand-harvest, native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, and aging in cement for freshness and purity.

Appearance:
Bright ruby red— lively and translucent.

Nose:
Fresh and inviting with aromas of violets, ripe red fruit, and a light herbal-earthy undertone.

Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied and smooth. Flavors of cherry, red berries, and gentle spice are balanced by integrated acidity and fine-grained tannins, with a touch of mineral brightness.

Finish:
Clean and energetic, lingering with strawberry notes, subtle red fruit, and an earthy-mineral nuance.

Overall Impression:
This Vino Rosso is a delightful introduction to Alto Piemonte wines—fresh, approachable, and full of regional character. Bright fruit, floral lift, and minerality make it versatile and inviting now, while refined enough to accompany rustic fare or soften slightly with short-term aging.
