Travaglini Gattinara Riserva 2015, 750ml

To produce the Riserva, only the finest parcels are selected from Travaglini’s oldest vineyards, aged between 45 and 65 years. These areas, characterized by rocky terrain and a cool breeze throughout the year, influence the growth and ripening of the grapes. The vineyards benefit from a South/Southwest exposure.

The grapes are crushed and macerated for about 15 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for 5 years: 40 months in Slavonian oak casks of various sizes, followed by 12 months of bottle aging. This meticulous process results in an elegant and refined Gattinara.

Tasting Note:

The nose has aromas of dried cherry, plum, and crushed minerals with hints of leather. The palate has a full body with firm tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and dry with notes of black pepper and iron.
