Travaglini Gattinara Riserva 2006

One of the finest Travaglini Gattinaras in recent memory. Dark cherry, dried violets, mint, licorice and warm spice, the aromatics alone are worth the price of admission. On the palate it's supple and generously textured, with everything in fine proportion: fruit, structure, and a lingering, polished finish. Captivating from first pour to last.
