Gattinara 'Osso San Grato' Antoniolo 2012

The Gattinara Osso San Grato of Antoniolo winery enters in the Olympus of high quality Piedmont Nebbiolo. Osso San Grato is the name of one cru of Gattinara, belonging almost entirely to the family Antoniolo, a very important family for this area. This winery is able to create real stars of Italian oenology, which shine with their garnet-colored glows. The Gattinara Osso San Grato is the ultimate expression of the experience of family Antoniolo, started with Mario, founder of the winery in 1948. Today are his nephews, Alberto and Lorella, to continue passionately to make wine in a unique and indistinguishable way as Mario has taught. Their wines are complex handicrafts, able to express the purity of Gattinara terroir’s, of whom Gattinara Osso San Grato is a noble ambassador. This precious Nebbiolo, caught our attention with its bouquet admirably rich and smoothly it enticed the tasting. It's just in this occasion, with great politeness, Gattinara Osso San Grato reveals every single nuance of its shy character that opens up suddenly with great elegance of harmonious scents. That's how we convince ourselves that we are dealing with an artwork, rather than with a bottle of wine.
