Ghemme

APPELLATION: CONTROLLED AND GUARANTEED DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN (DOCG)

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% NEBBIOLO

This delicious wine is made of Nebbiolo grapes exclusively, cultivated on a hill around the village of Ghemme, in the province of Novara. Ghemme is one of the 78 Italian vines that can make use of the wording “denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin”. The main characteristic of the soil in this area is a combination of a volcanic substrate with moraine deposits on top. This peculiarity is reflected in the minerality of the wines originating from this area. The wine undergoes an aging period of minimum 18 months in French oak barrels followed by a minimum of 24 months of aging in the bottle before getting ready for sale.

The wine has an intense ruby color with garnet reflections. On the nose it is very intense with pleasant notes of cherry and green tobacco, balsamic and violet tones with a clear mineral vein. On the palate it is full-bodied and soft, delicate, fresh, mineral, with very persistent tannins.
