Gattinara is a small wine village with the beautiful vineyard hills.

Main red grape is nebbiolo as it is in Piedmont, but here there are many subnames(Clone) of nebbiolo.

We have stayed at Anzivino Viticoltori in the middle of town. They have some cosy rooms, each room has a name of nebbiolo clone.

Owner Emanuele is a very gentle person and cares not only of his vineyards, but also his guests very well.

He told us that the family comes originally from Milan and sometimes in 90' they bought an old distillery and started to make wines.

A 30 minutes walk from cantina up to the hill, you will find torre delle castelle and beautiful view over the town.
