The 2013 Petterino Gattinara opens with a garnet‑ruby hue, exuding scents of rose petal, cherry pit, dried cranberry and subtle wild herbs, layered with tobacco leaf and forest‑floor nuance. On the palate it is medium‑ to full‑bodied with vibrant acidity and firm yet polished tannins that provide structure and direction. Flavours of red and black plum, bramble, and bittersweet cherry dominate the core, underpinned by slate and iron‑rich minerality that give the wine clarity and length. Mid‑palate complexity develops with cedar chest, leather, and a whisper of violet and licorice, revealing a quietly profound wine with tension rather than overt power. The finish is lingering and refined, carrying echoes of cherry‑wood, spice, and a saline‑gravel minerality. This Gattinara is already showing charm yet offers the balance and depth to evolve gracefully for another 8‑10 years—or more—with proper cellaring.

Petterino is a small, artisan producer located in the DOCG region of Gattinara in Piedmont, known for crafting elegant and refined nebbiolo wines from premium plots with minimal intervention. Their vineyards are planted on steep slopes of porphyry and volcanic soils, historically recognized for producing ageworthy, minerally wines that rival bigger names in the region. The ambition at Petterino is to highlight precision, site‑expression and tradition—veys such as the Riserva receive meticulous sorting, careful vinification in open‑top vats, and ageing in large format barrels; the aim is not volume but depth and longevity. Their wines are prized by collectors and enthusiasts seeking individuality and terroir clarity at value.
