Sourced from the Santachiara vineyard, the label highlights the use of \"Antichi Vigneti,\" indicating that the grapes originate from ancient vineyards. The wine is crafted from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape renowned for yielding elegant wines with great structure. While Nebbiolo is widely associated with Piedmont areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco, it is locally known as Spanna in this specific northern territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGattinara is situated in the northern part of Piedmont within the Vercelli province, resting at the foot of the Alps on the western side of the Sesia river. Recognized as one of Alto Piemonte's classic Nebbiolo areas, it covers approximately 100 hectares of steep, south-facing slopes at altitudes ranging from 270 to 400 meters. The unique terroir consists of acidic, mineral-rich porphyry soils originating from an ancient supervolcano. Traditional production rules for the area dictate a minimum of 35 months of aging, with at least 24 months spent in barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe broader Piedmont region, whose name literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is located in northwestern Italy and is completely surrounded by the Alps. It is widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious wine regions, known for its small, passionate, family-run wineries and a profound focus on how soil and microclimate influence the vineyards. The dramatic, steep hills of the region are frequently enveloped in thick morning fog during the autumn, a natural phenomenon that protects the grapes and facilitates a long, perfect ripening period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mario Antoniolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57244176056646,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-951_481f1672-e0d6-404e-8fc4-4f0ce76d8998.jpg?v=1788346879","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/gattinara-mario-antoniolo-1971","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
