Critics reviews
James Suckling 91/100
Round and textural with notes of red berries, spiced cherries and orange blossom. Medium-bodied with tight, chewy tannins. Powdery texture on the palate with a crunchy red fruit character and fresh acidity. Red currants come through in the finish.Try after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2024)
Antonio Galloni 94/100
The 2020 Barolo Gattera is a dark, at times somber, La Morra Barolo. Black cherry, plum, lavender, licorice, dried herbs and mocha all meld together. Pliant and deep, with notable concentration and breadth on the palate, the Gattera is a fine example of this site. Today, the 2020 is a bit closed, but I see that as a positive.Drink 2025 - 2038antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)
About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Barolo
Piedmont's most famous wine DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Barolo is renowned for producing Italy's finest reds from 100 percent Nebbiolo. The Barolo appellation was formalised in 1966 at around 1,700 hectares, and has an exceptional terroir with almost every village perched on its own hill. The climate is continental, with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness.
