2021 Cantina Delsignore 'La Crotta Spanna'
Place: Gattinara - Alto Piedmont, Italy

Farming: Organic
Cantina Delsignore are based in the Alto Piemonte wine making region of Gattiara. The Gattinara is a wine of ancient origins, whose vineyards were planted by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. At the end of WW2, the Nervi Family were the owners of vineyards in Gattinara, and were dedicated to the production of wine. Elsa Nervi married Attilio Delsignore, who too was a producer of a wine then known as “Spanna”. Their combined properties resulted in five hectares of great ‘cru’ vineyards: Permolone, Lurghe, Sottomonte, Molsino, Villino.
Today Stefano Dorelli at Cantina Delsignore continues this exciting journey with the dedication, skill and tenacity inherited from the founder, Attilio Delsignore.
From the magnificent 2021 growing season. Super fine tannins & a laser sharp focus to this release. Cherry, tart cranberry - juicy red fruits. Subtle graphite and white pepper on the nose with some lavender & potpourri too. A terrific release under the beautiful new label from Delisgnore.
