Estate Bottled Gattinara Nebbiolo

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.

Still tight but on third day opening with tart cherry raspberry hints of spice milk chocolate drying tanins plenty of concentration to improve with age

Not rated: the apple crisp in the background that I’m mostly making for the autumn ambience. (And this wine has apparently become my reliable everyday go-to red)

Double decanted over 1-2 hours.

Ripe red cherry, slight meaty, musky aroma, slight herbal aromas. Lifted fresh roses.

Palate confirms the ripe fruits, medium body, slightly bracing acidity (needs food), but tannins are ripe and well integrated. Medium length bright and slightly savory finish.

I feel like this is a reasonable value, great with food and ready to go with a short decant.

First time having, had heard good things! The bottle is kind of kitschy, but the wine is the real deal. Delicious Nebbiolo.

Acid and tannins in balance.
