The estate is located in the village of Lozzolo within the Vercelli province, a distinct part of the Alto Piemonte zone. Founded in 1967 by Romolo Berteletti, the family-owned winery officially operates under the name Azienda Vinicola Castello di Lozzolo dei Fratelli Berteletti S.p.A. The producer is deeply rooted in the local wine culture, focusing primarily on the region's classic grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is crafted from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape known for producing elegant wines with great structure, which is locally referred to as Spanna. Piedmont is widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious wine regions, characterized by dramatic, steep hills and a strong focus on terroir. In the autumn, these hills are often enveloped in a thick morning fog that protects the grapes and ensures a long, steady ripening process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gattinara area is situated at the foothills of the Alps on the western side of the Sesia river. The vineyards are planted on steep, south-facing slopes at altitudes ranging from 270 to 400 meters. The proximity to the Alps significantly influences the local climate, while the unique soil composition sets the area apart. The vines grow in acidic, mineral-rich porphyry soils originating from an ancient supervolcano, which gives the Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte a distinct terroir-driven character compared to those from the Langhe area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at 12.5% alcohol, this 1986 vintage carries the Denominazione di Origine Controllata classification, reflecting the regulations of the era before Gattinara was elevated to DOCG status in 1990. Castello di Lozzolo remains a steadfast representative of its corner of Alto Piemonte, preserving the historical significance of the Gattinara appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello di Lozzolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57392171942214,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1196_6e7e6742-4bf0-4ac7-9e3c-8173f5387602.jpg?v=1789561475","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/gattinara-castello-di-lozzolo-1986","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
