Understanding Azienda Agricola Antoniolo, Gattinara, Osso San Grato, Piedmont
Grapes for the Osso San Grato are carefully handpicked from the vineyard, named for its sandy, gravelly soils ("osso" translates to "bone"). Following fermentation, the wine ages for up to 36 months in oak barrels, which imparts a gentle spiciness and enhances the wine's inherent structure and depth. The result is a compelling Gattinara that brilliantly expresses the terroir of its origin.
