Travaglini Gattinara 2007

Sweet red cherry, tobacco, incense and dried herbs open with immediate appeal, this is a Gattinara that wears its fruit openly rather than making you wait. The Nebbiolo tannins are firm and present, grounding the wine's more generous, outgoing character without dominating it. What's particularly enjoyable is how it continues to evolve in the glass, gaining complexity as it breathes. A tasty, accessible expression from Travaglini, drink now through the near term.
