About this wine

Grapes

Nebbiolo from Gattinara. This is Travaglini’s historic label and the family’s interpretation of the Gattinara territory.

Tasting profile

The wine has a bright, mature ruby-red appearance and delicate transparency. Its initially soft floral character recalls violet and rose petals, developing spicy and balsamic nuances with time. Mineral and occasionally iron-like accents emerge on the finish.

The palate is elegant and balanced, combining freshness with finely traced noble tannins. Small red fruits, flowers and fruit-jelly notes carry through a subtle, exceptionally persistent finish.

Label / history

Gattinara D.O.C.G. is one of the estate’s historic labels. It is presented as the wine that most directly expresses Gattinara through the Travaglini family’s interpretation.
