Gattinara Riserva Umberto Fiore 1966
Dette er en Gattinara Riserva fra 1966, fremstillet af den historiske producent Umberto Fiore. Vingården, der sandsynligvis holdt til i Vintebbio-området, er et klassisk eksempel på de mange små producenter, som gennem 1900-tallet formede vinkulturen i Alto Piemonte, før urbanisering og generationsskifter ændrede landskabet. I dag er Umberto Fiore ikke længere aktiv, og vinene findes udelukkende som ældre årgange. Flasken bærer et segl med teksten "U" og har en alkoholprocent på 13.
Vinen kommer fra Gattinara, et anerkendt område i den nordlige del af Piemonte i Vercelli-provinsen. Piemonte er verdenskendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir og sine dramatiske bakkelandskaber, der ofte svøbes i efterårståge. Gattinara ligger ved foden af Alperne på vestsiden af Sesia-floden, hvor vinmarkerne er anlagt på stejle, sydvendte skråninger i 270 til 400 meters højde. Områdets jordbund består af sur, mineralrig porfyr fra en gammel supervulkan, hvilket adskiller det fra de sydligere dele af regionen. Gattinara blev senere, i 1990, ophøjet til DOCG-status.
Vinen er klassificeret som en Riserva og er lavet på druen Nebbiolo, som lokalt i Alto Piemonte kaldes Spanna. I Gattinara udgør Spanna mindst 90 procent af produktionen, ofte suppleret af små mængder Uva Rara og Vespolina, men Umberto Fiores vine fra denne periode er kendt for at være fremstillet på 100 procent Spanna. Det køligere alpeklima, den høje beliggenhed og den vulkanske jordbund med granit og jern giver druen en særlig mineralsk struktur, der er karakteristisk for denne nordlige del af Piemonte. For en Gattinara Riserva kræver de lokale regler en lagringstid på mindst 35 måneder, hvoraf de 24 måneder foregår på træfade.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
