Travaglini is a family-owned wine estate in the tiny Gattinara appellation within north Italy's renowned Piedmont region. Established in the 1920s by Clemente Travaglini, the winery is Gattinara's most esteemed producer of traditional, limited-production wines from the nebbiolo grape (known locally as spanna). The family's passion for winemaking has not diminished through the generations; Cristina and Cinzia Travaglini, great-granddaughters of Clemente, manage day-to-day operations at winery. Cinzia's husband Massimo Collauto is chief winemaker, a role he inherited from his late father-in-law and beloved mentor, Giancarlo Travaglini (winemaker at Travaglini for 45 years). Giancarlo's wife, Lilliana, oversees vineyard operations. Travaglini wines are easily recognized by their distinctive bottle shape, featuring a unique curve that fits naturally in the palm of the hand and serves to catch sediment during decanting. Designed by a glassmaker to celebrate the excellent 1952 vintage, the bottle was so well received that family decided to keep it as their trademark.
100% Nebbiolo aged 3 years in slovenian oak the in French Oak for a year. A classic bouquet of tart cherry and dried rose petal notes to the nose with hints of red licorice spice and a very distinct minerality from the rocky soils very high in Granite and Iron. A smooth and layered wine with excellent structure, fine tannins coming through a bit dry on the finish but has nice balance and with a bit of food this wine should really show nicely, wonderful freshness echoing the minerality from the nose through the finish. Finish 40+ Excellent
