Gattinara Riserva DOCG 2015 Travaglini

The Gattinara Riserva di Travaglini is born in vineyards located in the Vercelli municipality of Gattinara, in the northern part of Piedmont.

It is produced entirely with Nebbiolo grapes, harvested and selected only by hand in the first ten days of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 15 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 4 years, 3 of which in Slavonian oak barrels and a small percentage in smaller woods. An 8-month bottle aging follows.

It has an intense garnet red color. The nose opens with delicate spicy and mineral notes, enriched by hints of cherry, rose and licorice. On the palate it is pleasantly tannic, fresh and persistent.

Perfect to accompany savory meat-based dishes, this wine is ideal in combination with game and aged cheeses.
