"Antoniolo remains a reference point for Gattinara and Alto Piemonte. As always, the Castelle and San Francesco have a touch of French oak sheen that renders the wines very easy to enjoy on the young side. The Osso San Grato is aged entirely in cask and, therefore, has more classic lines. It remains one of the benchmark wines of Gattinara and Alto Piemonte. As good as the single-vineyard bottlings are, readers should not pass up the straight Gattinara, which is now also released as a Riserva. It’s a fine introduction to this stellar range." – Vinous

100% Nebbiolo from Antoniolo’s top three cru vineyards: Castelle, San Francesco and Osso San Grato. Fermentation is spontaneous, with an 18-day maceration in concrete vats and no temperature control. The wine then matures in a combination of large Slavonian and French oak casks (25–35HL), followed by a further 12 months of refinement in bottle.

"The 2018 Gattinara Riserva is seriously impressive, especially considering it is
Antoniolo's entry-level Gattinara. Deep, layered and dynamic in the glass, the
2018 has so much to offer. Macerated red cherry, menthol, licorice, spice,
cedar and leather fill out the layers. This is all class—the hidden gem in this
range." 93 points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
