Marco Petterino may be a name you have never heard of, but if you love traditional Nebbiolo you will be happy to have learned of his existence.  Based in Gattinara, he owns land in the 3 most important crus in the region.  The wines showcase the floral side of Nebbiolo.  Marco releases his wines only when he believes they are ready.  All wines spend a minimum of 3 years in barrel and 60 months in bottle. He releases his wines once they have about 9-10 years of age on them.
