The 2013 Gattinara is a fabulous introduction to these wines. Beautifully lifted and medium in body, the 2013 is supremely elegant in every way. Crushed red berries, rose petals, mint, pine and wild flowers are waft out of the glass in this striking, super-expressive, entry-level Gattinara from the Antoniolo family.

2022/1. Having enjoyed umpteen bottles of this stuff, this one finally felt like it might be entering a secondary, less open phase. There was more tarry earth showing, but less fruit and more structure. Still, as someone who loves traditional Nebbiolo at all ages, there was plenty to enjoy for me.

Aug 14th, 2020This was stupendous, the best bottle of Antoniolo that I’ve enjoyed. It had everything, plenty of it, and in proportion - open with plenty of tarry fruit and complex, balanced, substantial. More please!
