Gattinara is a red Italian wine produced from Nebbiolo grapes grown within the boundaries of the commune of Gattinara which is located in the hills in the north of the province of Vercelli, northwest of Novara in the Piedmont region. The wine is made from a minimum of 90% Nebbiolo grapes and is renowned for its longevity. Notes: a meaty, chunky wine with a subtle, clean nose. Hints of tar and bark, with undertones of cherries and rose petals. Light tannins.
The 1961 vintage for Piedmont was exceptionally good.
Little information exists for the 1961 Piedmont growing season, but the quality of the wines suggests it went without much of a hitch.
The wines, as a result, were rich, dense and alcoholic with a powerful fruit character. The best wines easily had the fruit, acidity, alcohol and tannin along with the sophistication and aromatic character to warrant long-term aging.
