The wine
Made from the finest selection of Nebbiolo grapes from the mountains, thanks to the broad diurnal temperature ranges and the richness of noble tannin extracts released by the grapes, Riserva La Gatta is our rich and mature red wine.
- Tasting Notes
- Cherry red, which over time tends towards garnet; spicy, extremely elegant, with dried fruit and ripe cherry hints; full-bodied, with the right level of acidity and complexity; delicately harmonious tannins and a very warm finish
Serving suggestions
Ideal served with second courses of substance and cheeses

The vintage
Despite a lot of rainfall during the winter and even in the spring, the forecast for a good harvest was still very good at the end of August. But very hot and humid weather in the first two weeks of September got in the way and forced us into an early harvest. The crop volume is about 15 percent lower than last year. The loss is probably mostly due to animals that ate a lot of shoots. However, the young wines make us feel confident; they are very fragrant, fresh and crisp. They may not have a very long shelf life, but they will be very balanced.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
