- Gattinara is the little brother to Barbaresco and Barolo. Also made from 100% Nebbiolo, the wine is powerful with the classic regional flavors of tar and roses.

- Gattinara, north of the Langhe beside Lago Maggiore, is the DOCG for you if you prefer a light and elegant style of Nebbiolo. The Antoniolo family is one of the best known in the region. The wine has aromas of rose petal, voilet, and raspberry. On the palate it has cool climate freshness coupled with good structure after spending 24 months in medium sized oak barrels.
