Introduction:
This artisanal Nebbiolo is produced by Luca Caligaris in the heart of Gattinara. Crafted with meticulous organic farming, it channels the ancient volcanic soils and mountain freshness of Alto Piemonte into a Nebbiolo defined by transparency and finesse.

Terroir:
Vines are sustainably farmed on porphyry-rich slopes around Gattinara with site-specific exposures and elevation. The calcareous and gravelly soils provide structured minerality, while the cool continental climate ensures expressive flavor and vibrant acidity. The wine is made using traditional, minimal-intervention methods—including destemming, native-yeast fermentations, and extended aging in large neutral casks to respect Nebbiolo's purity.

Appearance:
Medium ruby with clarity and youthful energy.

Nose:
Elegant and layered—aromas of red cherry, floral rose petal, subtle forest underbrush, and mineral undertones emerge seamlessly.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and precisely balanced. Cherry, pomegranate, and rose-driven notes glide over silky tannins. Bright acidity and a firm mineral spine give structure and energy.

Finish:
Elegant and lingering—red fruit flavors and floral echoes persist over a fine mineral thread.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Luca Caligaris Gattinara is a nuanced, graceful Nebbiolo rooted in complex volcanic terroir and traditional winemaking. With elegant red fruit, floral lift, and focused acidity, it’s beautifully expressive now yet has the steadfast structure to evolve with cellaring. Ideal for customers seeking a refined, terroir-driven Gattinara.
