Description

Overlooked by the famous cedar of Lebanon, Gattera is a Menzione Geografica of Barolo that takes its name from the Gattera farmhouse in the area. Located along the border between La Morra and Castiglione Falletto, it has a distinct rise from the main road that goes towards Barolo up to the frazione Annunziata, forming a hilly curve that bends from southwest and southeast towards northeast. The Tortonian soils of La Morra (clay, sand, and limestone) meet the Helvetian soils of Castiglione (highly compact brown marl). Here, we cultivate about one hectare positioned southwest, a well-exposed vineyard that produces a mature, spicy, warm, and intense Barolo.

  • Bottles produced: 120.000

We were born and raised in the hills that are home to Barolo, the wine we love and have dedicated our lives and passions to. The history of our family is deeply linked to La Morra and to the rural roots of this part of the Langhe, which has succeeded in reinventing itself within the space of just a few decades, discovering an international vocation.

We are convinced that the work of winemakers must respond to a categorical imperative: the quest for quality. This is why we have chosen to leave the beaten track over the years and take paths that are often inaccessible, but where we see potential for growth.

We strive every day to make wines that are in step with the times while resisting the temptation to follow trends, as befits the great classics. Read more
