Drink it now or cellar for up to 25 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.
Located in Maggiora, in the heart of the Novara hills, the Vallana winery is a family business with a long winemaking tradition. In the 1950s, Bernardo Vallana made the wines of this little-known area ofPiedmont popular all over the world, and today his grandchildren Francis and Marina continue to promote this territory by producing expressive and high-quality wines.
The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine are sourced from the subalpine territory of Alto Piemonte, in the municipality of Gattinara, on the right bank of the Sesia River, on volcanic and glacial soils. After manual harvesting, the wine is made in concrete vats. The finished wine then ages in oak barrels for at least two years, and a few more months in the bottle.
Gattinara Vallana is an austere wine with a bright and clear color and garnet red tones. On the nose, it reveals a complex aromatic profile with notes of small red fruits, spices, and undergrowth. On the palate it is structured, deep and intense, complex and elegant. It has firm but well-integrated tannins and a long finish with notes of undergrowth. It is excellent to enjoy now with braised red meat and wild boar ragu, but it can remain in the cellar for several years and evolve wonderfully.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
