Travaglini Gattinara Tre Vigne 2020 750ml

A deep and profound wine with great complexity. On the nose it shows earth, graphite, wax, dried orange peel, red currants and licorice. The attack is smooth and velvety, with graphite flavors and firm, dusty, yet ripe and woven tannins. It’s refreshing and long in the finish. Best after 2025.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
