Description
The Ghemme is produced in the hilly area of the municipalities of Ghemme and Romagnano Sesia, in the province of Novara. The vineyards are situated on a series of hills of alluvial origin moraine that extends from the mouth of the Valsesia Novara plain. These findings formed by deposits carried downstream from the glacier of Mount Rosa.
The wine is made primarily from the Nebbiolo grape varietal (known locally as Spanna) and like Gattinara, it may be blended with Uva Rara (known locally as Bonarda di Gattinara) and Vespolina.
A minimum of 3 years total aging is required, including a minimum 20 months in wood and 9 months in bottle from November 1 of the harvest year. Riserva is a minimum 4 years total aging, including a minimum 25 months in wood and 9 months in bottle from November 1 of the harvest year.
