Product Profile
Launched in the year 2000, Paride Iaretti has gone from strength to strength. It was recently included in the “50 Best Wines of Italy” listing (by Luca Gardini, Best Sommelier of the World 2010, and Andrea Grignaffini, Creative Director of Spirit of Wine magazine).
The estate produces wines that offer an authentic taste of Italy and the Piedmont region, focusing on endemic grapes such as the noble Nebbiolo. The winery features a traditional cellar in an ancient courtyard, characteristic of the local architecture from the historical town of Gattinara. The vines (many over 50 years old) are cultivated using long-established methods, respecting the land and the climate.
Winemaking
Vinification in stainless steel. Maceration on the skins for 30 days with delestage and manual follature.
Malolactic fermentation naturally completed in stainless steel. Ageing is for 12 months in Tonneaux and 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels.
Tasting Note
The Gattinara flavour is austere, mineral and has wonderful aromas. Bouquet of roses and violets, dried fruits and spices. On the palate, dry and austere, with soft tannins.
