Extension: 29 acres

 

Our vineyards are displaced over the whole Northern Piedmont area, where the Sesia river marks the natural boundary between the provinces of Vercelli and Novara, and divides the hills of Gattinara D.O.C.G. and Ghemme D.O.C.G.

 

The whole area is charachterized by lean soil, which gives a clearly acid reaction. This Morainic-Alluvial soil was originated by deposits of eroded debrises, carried downstream by the Monte Rosa glacier.

 

The hills of Gattinara vary in height between 918 and 1,476 feet above mean sea level, the geological profile identifies a huge mother of porphyritic rock, quartz, granite, tuff, schist, volcanic conglomerate, arenaic and marl with a very rich ferrous component that determines the typical reddish color of the soil and gives the wines an austere and very deep character.

 

The backbone of Ghemme is instead a rolling hill with a height ranging from 918 to 1,017 feet above mean sea level; it has the typical "triangular" moraine form, and the mineralogical composition is characterized by cobblestone, granite, gravel, shale, and porphyry miascisti that together enhance the finesse and the most elegant notes of Nebbiolo, that is also reflected in another important reality of the valley with the most southern of the Northern Piedmont D.O.C.s : Fara D.O.C.

 

In our absolute conviction that the Northern Piedmont terroir can give incredible wines in any aspect, we have set ourselves the goal to cultivate personally the vineyards in the most absolute respect for nature and its rhythms, in the most traditional ways.

Production: 80.000 bottiglie
