Nebbiolo grown on a volcano: Gattinara sits at the foot of the Alps in northern Piedmont on the eroded remains of an ancient volcanic complex — porphyry shot through with iron and silica — and nothing else in Italy tastes quite like it. Travaglini farms roughly half of this tiny appellation and is the family that kept it on the map, and the Riserva is a genuine step up from the standard bottling: the DOCG demands at least 47 months of aging with 36 of those in wood, which here means the large Slavonian casks the house has always favored. 1997 was one of Piedmont's famously warm, ripe vintages, and that generosity is what has carried this bottle nearly thirty years. It comes to us from a private collection and is fully mature — brick-edged, savory, with tannins long since melted into the wine. Stand it upright for two or three days, then decant gently off the sediment (the curve in Travaglini's distinctive bottle was designed to trap it) and drink it over an evening rather than saving it for one.
