Situated at the foot of the Alps, Piedmont is globally recognized for its steep hills, autumn morning fogs, and a strong focus on terroir. Within this region lies Ghemme, a historic appellation in Alto Piemonte located in the Novara province on the eastern side of the Sesia river. The Arlunno family initiated their wine project in 1969 and established the winery in its current form in 1977. While the estate covers 35 hectares today, the grapes for this specific vintage were sourced from the family's 20 hectares of vineyards cultivated at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of Ghemme benefit from a highly favorable microclimate due to their proximity to Monte Rosa. This mountain presence protects the vines from sudden cold spells in the spring while providing cooling breezes throughout the summer. The soils here are of glacial origin, consisting of moraine deposits mixed with clay, gravel, and limestone. This distinct geological composition sets Ghemme apart from the neighboring Gattinara area across the river, providing a unique environment for vine cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red wine is primarily crafted from Nebbiolo, a highly regarded Italian grape that is traditionally referred to as Spanna in this local area. Following the appellation's traditions, the Nebbiolo is supplemented by the autochthonous grape varieties Uva Rara and Vespolina. As a Denominazione di Origine Controllata wine, the production involves strict requirements. According to the estate's historical practices for this specific release, the wine underwent a mandatory aging period of four years before leaving the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57187946135878,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-814_6ecb25ad-9ae8-4426-9f82-47fb03532dda.jpg?v=1787563460","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/ghemme-antichi-vigneti-di-cantalupo-1984","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
