Antoniolo ‘Bricco Lorella’ Nebbiolo Rosato 2024

Gattinara’s most dynamic driving force is a soft-spoken, petite, 75-year-old grandmother named Rosanna Antoniolo.”—Wine Sepctator, April 30, 2015

“One of the reference-points in Gattinara.”—Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“Antoniolo’s bottles contain the best of Northern Piedmont’s heritage. Hard-boned and only apparently lean, they can survive the decades while making all their greatness immediately obvious.” — Gambero Rosso

Antoniolo is viewed by many as the most important reference-point estate in all of Gattinara, Alto Piemonte’s most well-known appellation. It is run by a dynamic brother/sister team Alberto and Lorella Antoniolo, who are doing the work that their grandfather, Maro started back in the 1940s.

In the 1950s and 60s, when many Italians were fleeing the countryside for work in Piedmont’s factories, Antoniolo was snapping up several of the area’s best vineyards and by the early 1970s had an incredibly inpressive collection of Gattinara’s top crus, including a monopole on the Osso San Grato vineyard.
