WINE FROM OSSOLA

Local wines are the best choice for accenting the flavours of local food. The “niche wines” from the Ossola region are made from grapes grown on terraces over the Toce River plain, and they bear the local quality mark Valli Ossolane DOC. The exposure of the vineyards, the type of cultivation that guarantees proper light and ventilation and the indigenous grape variety - an ecotype of Nebbiolo - make this territory the annual point of origin of a unique, typical Ossola wine. These wines are identified as Red, Nebbiolo, Nebbiolo Superiore and White. Both reds and white have intense colours and a dry, harmonious flavour. The Red one has an intense vinous fragrance, but all the others are fruity and delicate. The reds can be served as table wines, to accompany an entire meal, or with cheese, first courses and meat dishes. The white goes well with light dishes of fish, vegetables and fresh cheese.
