Classic, slightly rustic feel. Lots of sour cherry, mushroom, herbs, damp concrete and rose petal. Very broad and lengthy finish. This will go the distance.

Popped and poured. Bright red cherries, herbs, crushed rock. Loads of structure and a tannic beast yet. Delicious and outstanding with the meal.

Bramble, rustic notes, traditional bottle. May need to try the Riserva.

On this Thursday night before the start of the weekend before the 4th of July I have opened the 2012 Travaglini Estate Bottled Gattinara.

On the the nose there are very expressive notes of red fruit, cherry, strawberry, plum, raspberry, Rose, licorice, mint and baking spice.

On the palate I am getting continuation of the red fruit, cherry, raspberry, plum, anise, herbaceous, spice, leather, rose, clay pot and oak.

This wine is full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + gripping tannins that lead to a long enjoyable finish. Have an enjoyable weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Needed a little coaxing, but some great lifted Nebbiolo character here. Marasca cherry, violet, rock, stick cinnamon
