Gattinara DOCG
Born at Uccineglio, at Lurghe, facing south-east, and at Valferana, it spends three years in large oak barrels: this is the Gattinara we introduce ourselves with.

A passion for Nebbiolo
since 1998
Founded in 1998 by Emanuele Anzivino, the winery was born from a clear choice: to dedicate ourselves to Nebbiolo in a territory capable of giving it a distinctive, unrepeatable expression.
Two generations, one shared direction
Founded in 1998 by Emanuele Anzivino, the winery was born from a deliberate choice: Gattinara and its volcanic hills, a territory historically devoted to Nebbiolo and capable of giving it a distinctive identity.
Since 2025 this path has been carried forward by his son Andrea, alongside his father. Gattinara is often associated with an idea of austerity; ours, after almost thirty harvests, shows its contemporary face: freshness and verticality, which the porphyry and the climate of these hills naturally bring. It is made from a single grape, Nebbiolo, and this lets us focus every choice, from the moment of harvest to the selection of the grapes, on what each vintage can express of this territory, and of this territory alone.
We are a family-run winery: just over four hectares, around 22,000 bottles a year, with grape selection and harvest done entirely by hand. Every choice, from vine to bottle, stays in the hands of Emanuele and Andrea, and those who visit the cellar taste the wines directly with the people who make them.
The tendril, our emblem, represents the desire to start from the roots of tradition and territory, growing with coherence toward the future.
Gattinara, a winemaking tradition spanning millennia
The hills of Gattinara rise on the bones of an ancient volcano. Their porphyric soil, rare in the wine world, gives Nebbiolo an unmistakable minerality and a tannic structure that evolves for decades.
A land cultivated for over two thousand years, celebrated since Roman times and recorded in the chronicles as the home of wines destined for the great tables of Europe. We return to these roots every day.
We work the vineyard by hand, with absolute respect for nature’s rhythms, harvesting every single cluster manually. Planting densities faithful to local tradition and a constant ear to the territory guide every gesture.
Three Gattinara, three selections
The production rules allow eighty quintals of grapes per hectare; we stop at sixty, and at forty for CESARE. A Gattinara is decided long before the barrel: green pruning, bunch selection at harvest, hand sorting in the cellar.
Gattinara Riserva DOCG
It moves up to Valferana and Molsino, two of the most historic crus of Gattinara, and stays four years in large oak barrels.

CESARE Gattinara Riserva DOCG
From Molsino and Uccineglio, with a late harvest and only in the vintages that deserve it: five years in a 1580 litre oak barrel built for this wine.

And it does not stop here. Beyond ten years the evolution continues in the same direction: leather, forest floor, truffle, goudron. Great Gattinara vintages can cross decades.

Sleeping at the winery
Five rooms in Gattinara, inside the winery
Our five rooms, named after the Nebbiolo clones, are set within the historic 1862 distillery that also houses the cellar: you sleep where the wine is made, in the heart of Gattinara.
Arrival is free at any hour, with self check-in always available, and in the morning breakfast waits in the Tinaia, beneath the brick vaults. The tasting is booked before setting off and takes place a few steps from the room, among the large oak barrels.
