Expert Reviews · Vintage 2022
Wine Advocate · 93 Points: Presented in its uniquely curvaceous bottle, the Travaglini 2022 Gattinara opens to a beautiful bouquet of rose petal, lilac and wild cherry that immediately sets an elegant and finely nuanced tone. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 30 months in oak, followed by three months in bottle, the wine caresses the senses with the grace of Nebbiolo married to the precision and mineral definition that come from Gattinara's ancient volcanic soils. There is lovely harmony throughout, making this historic label a timeless benchmark for northern Italian Nebbiolo.
Wine Spectator · 91 Points: This is bright, with a crisp edge to its tart cherry, strawberry, rose hip and mineral flavors. Chalky tannins are present but integrated, with a lingering, iron-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2039.
