Travalgini Gattinara.


A classic!


2020 Travalgini Gattinara Estate Bottled...$43.99
100% Nebbiolo

Aged for 36 months in oak barrels, contributing to its depth and complexity.
Complex wine where the graceful aromas of sweet violets and pomegranates are allied to smoky woodland, licorice root and a whiff of cocoa powder. Firm on the palate, with a full body, dusty yet ripe tannins and long, crisp acidity. This 2020 is powerful and not without grace. It will improve further with bottle aging. Best after five to 10 years.
Rated 95/100 James Suckling

Unique Bottle Design----
Travaglini's bottle is instantly recognizable due to its distinctive asymmetrical shape, patented in 1958 by Giancarlo Travaglini. The design serves a functional purpose: the curved form naturally captures sediment during pouring, allowing the wine to be served directly from the bottle without decanting. Additionally, the dark-colored glass protects the wine from light exposure, preserving its quality
