Nicola Gatta joins Oeno Group’s Italian Portfolio

At the very heart of Oeno is the belief in sharing the joy of fine wine with the rest of the world, and so it gives us utmost pride and pleasure to become the newly-appointed exclusive UK distributor of Nicola Gatta located in the eastern edge of Franciacorta. 

Nicola Gatta, a third generation winemaker, produces his classic method sparkling winesin the easternmost area of Franciacorta. His 8 hectares are planted solely with Chardonnayand Pinot Noir on the limestone hills of Gussago and Cellatica, 400 meters above sea level. His principle is simple: to enhance a territory abundant yet diverse in nature and origins, with the aim of creating wines that represent the terroir and atmosphere of the vineyards without compromise. The resulting wines show a deeply personal interpretation of biodynamic production. Total rejection of herbicides and synthetic chemicals, embracing spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and not a single added sulphite in sight. 

Respect, emotion, uniqueness 

“I take my decisions step by step: sometimes going forward, sometimes going backward. My method is classic, but it is meant to be an ode to diversity.”

 
A vigneron by profession, as he likes to call himself, Nicola Gatta, at the age of 39, has already amassed seventeen actual vintages among the vines, with twelve years of presence on the market: his ultimate goal is the respect of his terroir and its enhancement, through the interpretation of winemaking. 
 
The current level of production, approximately 35-40,000 bottles per year, is ensured through a series of accommodations and renovations of the cellar, which have allowed the winery to hold bottles sur lie and work with wood, particularly tonneaux.
