Gattinara DOCG Tre Vigne 2011 Travaglini

The Gattinara Tre Vigne di Travaglini was born in vineyards located in the Vercelli municipality of Gattinara, in the northern part of Piedmont.

It is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, harvested and selected only by hand in the first ten days of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for 15 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 40 months, of which 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels and a part in smaller woods for 10 months. This wine ages for another 8 months in bottle before being released on the market.

It has an intense garnet red color. The nose opens with a large and intense bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit and jam, enriched with hints of plum and tamarind. On the palate it is elegant and structured, fresh and tangy in the finish.

Perfect to accompany structured first courses and red meats, this wine is ideal in combination with game and aged cheeses.
