Gattinara sits on volcanic soils at the foot of the Alps — porphyry, granite and iron — and it is one of only a handful of places, alongside neighboring Boca and Bramaterra, where Nebbiolo is grown on ground like this. Travaglini farms about half the appellation and has done more than anyone to keep it in the conversation, aging the wine past the appellation's 35-month minimum, with about thirty of those months in large Slavonian oak. 2014 deserves to be said plainly: it was cold and wet across Piedmont, one of the most difficult growing seasons in recent memory, and it took relentless sorting in the vineyard to make anything worth bottling. What came through is a leaner, higher-toned, more austere Gattinara than the warm years produce — less flesh, more acid and mineral edge — and a decade in bottle has brought it somewhere genuinely appealing. This one is from a private cellar; drink it now alongside food rather than cellaring it further, and give it half an hour in a decanter.

Antonio Galloni

88 points

"The 2014 Gattinara is bright, energetic and very pure in its expression of Nebbiolo. Bright red fruit, wild flowers and pine all lift out of the glass. Readers will find a sculpted, taut wine with terrific energy and the more ethereal feel that is typical of the year. This is very nicely done for the vintage." —Antonio Galloni

Kerin O'Keefe

89 points

"Aromas of coconut, dark-skinned berry and exotic spice come together on this. The taut linear palate offers dried cherry, star anise, sage and a hint of espresso alongside brisk acidity and tight close-grained tannins that grip the close." —Kerin O'Keefe

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Braised veal shank, mushroom risotto, sausage with lentils, or a plate of salumi and aged Toma. Its acidity handles tomato better than most Nebbiolo.

Tasting Profile

Cherry, cranberry, mint and tar over a stony, iron-like mineral note. Medium-bodied and lean, with high acidity and firm, gripping tannins. Dry and savory through a finish that leans more earth than fruit.
