Description
Ghemme is located in Italy's north-western Piedmont region. Similar to many Italian wine areas, its origins stretch as far back as Roman times. The region name, also the name of the commune, goes back to the days of a Celtic tribe called the Agamicans Zuruck, who grew vines there.
This dry red wine is characterized by its rusticity and age-worthy characteristics, owing to its very prominent tannins and high acidity. Ghemme has even greater longevity than Gattinara and its more well-known cousins, Barolo and Barbaresco. This red is generally known for displaying a ruby-red color and spicy character with a slightly bitter finish.
