Guided tour of the town of Gattinara, wine tasting in the historic wine cellar and walk through the Nebbiolo vineyards.
The hills in the area around Gattinara are famous thanks to their exposure to the sun and the fertile terrain and they have been, right from the Roman times, a favorable territory for the development of wine culture.
Itinerary:
There are many villages that have given their names to local wines of excellent quality like other more famous Italian wines. The Wineries in these towns are located in very attractive locations that combine an interest for art and wine. In these places, people have been winemakers for six hundred years, using native grapes like Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Bonarda or 'Rare Grapes' and Erbaluce, also known as 'White Greek'.
The wines are vinified and matured in renovated cellars of the XIV century, located inside buildings whose walls still retain the beautiful decorations made with river stones willing in a herringbone pattern. If you are a lover of good wine, you can not miss a visit in the Novarese hilly territory: an emerging reality, a pleasant discovery of great aged wines combined with a rich gastronomy and tied to tradition.
