Description
In a nutshell:
A generous magnum of this wonderful Piedmontese expression of the Nebbiolo grape.
The lowdown:
This overlooked DOCG is definitely worth trying as an alternate to a Barolo or Barbaresco. From Gattinara in the north of Piedmont where the Nebbiolo wines pre-dated those of the Langhe. Travaglini has almost single handily put this area on the map in recent years. Rich, concentrated and complex red fruit, blackberry, plum, liquorice, vanilla, cream and spice on the palate.
The Producer:
During the last 40 years and in the absence of any other significant producers Giancarlo Travaglini has successfully managed put the historically important Piedmontese wine region of Gattinara firmly on the map. Unlike in Barolo and Barbaresco, the cooler mountainous vineyards of Gattinara produce some of the most lithe, refined and perfumed expressions you'll find and ones that also age remarkably well. Since the estate passed to Giancarlo's daughter Cinzia and her husband Massimo Collauto, now chief winemaker, they've continued to put these superlative wines at centre stage. The wines made at Travaglini are simply outstanding examples of Old World, traditionally crafted, wines that age gracefully while gaining complexity with the passage of time.
When to drink:
Refined, elegant yet a touch rustic, it pairs exceptionally well with many strongly flavoured recipes, red meats, game and strong cheese.
