Travaglini Gattinara 2019
Gattinara, Piedmont, ItalyAlways a blend of several vineyard sites, this nebbiolo is perhaps best described as a ready to drink Barolo. In 2019, a vintage to remember in Piedmont, this label is supercharged. The nose entices with red berries, pepper, floral, and wet stone, but the midpalate’s fitness and charm deliver the added dimension. The textures are soft and round, the acidity excellent, and the finish complex and finesed while streaked with garam masala, smoke, and minerals. Superb drinking now and with the assurance that it will age gracefully through 2030 and beyond, this wine could be a smart investment.Tasted: 30 August 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $48.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Icon Fine Wines and Spirits |
