2017 Petterino Gattinara Riserva DOCG Piedmont, Italy Jean-Marc Pillot When the juice “decides”Marco Petterino is a tiny, and very much under the radar producer of the DOCG of Gattinara. With a mere 2 hectares of vineyards in total, spread out among several parcels, his production is about 1300 cs per year. Petterinos holdings are exceptional for the appellation with vineyards in three of the top crus in Gattinara Permolone, Castelle and Guardie which are all are southwest facing. Gattinara is located just west of the appellation of Ghemme,
