Antoniolo Gattinara Osso San Grato Riserva 2017
$83
This red has a fresh edge, which defines the cherry, strawberry, iron and tobacco flavors. Reveals a hint of eucalyptus that creeps in, as does the refined yet dense tannic structure. Well-proportioned and long on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2042. 400 cases made, 30 cases imported.

Primary Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
