Operating in the Alto Piemonte area, likely near Vintebbio, Umberto Fiore was one of the many small producers who shaped the layered wine culture of Gattinara during the 20th century. Today, the estate is no longer active, having closed amidst urbanization and generational shifts, leaving these older bottles as a testament to the area's past. This specific wine was produced and bottled at the estate's aging cellars, designated on the original label as \"Cantine d'invecchiamento\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGattinara is a classic wine area located in the northern part of the Piedmont region, situated in the Vercelli province at the foot of the Alps, just west of the Sesia river. Piedmont, which translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is globally recognized for its dramatic, steep hills often enveloped in autumn morning fog, and its profound focus on terroir. The Gattinara area is defined by its steep, south-facing slopes at altitudes between 270 and 400 meters. The terroir is highly distinctive, featuring acidic, mineral-rich porphyry soils originating from an ancient supervolcano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Gran Riserva is crafted from a selection of Spanna, Vespolina, and Bonarda grapes cultivated on the sunny slopes of the local hills. Spanna is the local name for Nebbiolo in Alto Piemonte, a grape that adapts uniquely to the volcanic soils and cooler, higher-altitude climate of the north. Bonarda is a traditional grape variety frequently found in regions such as Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. According to the producer's original records, the grapes for this wine underwent a late harvest to ensure complete ripening. Following the harvest, the wine was naturally aged in Slavonian oak barrels for a minimum of five years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umberto Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57187976085830,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-816_22117538-6c4b-4b55-b396-31f714dc353e.jpg?v=1787563586","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/gattinara-enrico-fiore-1961","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
