What distinguishes Ghemme from neighboring Piedmontese appellations is its tight geographic constraint, limiting viticulture to just two municipalities: Ghemme and Romagnano Sesia. Within this territory, recognized since 1973, 91 verified producers craft a highly specific blend. While nearby areas use different ratios, Ghemme mandates at least 85 percent Nebbiolo, locally called Spanna, completed by Vespolina or Uva Rara. The resulting wine undergoes a minimum of 34 months of aging, including 18 months in wood. This lengthy maturation yields a dry, savory wine with a ruby color and a harmonious, pleasantly bitterish finish.
