Antoniolo

The Piedmontese town of Gattinara is located near Vercelli on the western bank of the Sesia River, which winds its way from the slopes of Monte Rosa across the Pre-Alps until it flows into the Po. And it is here that the Antoniolo winery stretches over 20 hectares. From the beginning until today, under the leadership of Rosanna Antoniolo and her children Lorella and Alberto, the family has always strived to produce Gattinara wines of the highest quality and elegant character from their own grapes. They own some of the most beautiful vineyards in the area: Osso San Grato, Castelle and San Francesco, all spread across the volcanic soils of the wooded hill that rises behind Gattinara. The south-west exposure, which protects the vines from the cold Alpine air and ensures high sunlight exposure, as well as the volcanic, porphyry-rich soils guarantee the vines, which are on average 35 to 40 years old, the fruits that, after skilful ageing, give Antoniolo wines their harmony and finesse.
