The 2021 Gattinara is bright and punchy. A fine introduction to the range, the 2021 possesses notable depth. There is a bit of angularity in the tannins. This is far from an easygoing wine. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2030

With its famous square-shaped bottle, Travaglini is the most visible producer in Gattinara, as the estate accounts for 50% of the wine made here. I continue to be impressed with the wines, something I might not have said years ago. The 2019 Gattinara Riserva is one of the very best wines I have tasted here in some time. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2024

Aromas of red fruit, blackberry, plum and licorice with hint of vanilla and leather. Full-bodies palate, with intense flavors of cherry, raspberry and spice culminating in a long and smooth finish. Aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak, then several months of refinement in bottle. Recommended aging 3-10 years and beyond. Outstanding with red meat, game and hard cheeses.

Driven by a passion for exceptional Nebbiolo, the Travaglini family has been producing remarkable, limited-production wines from their eponymous estate in Gattinara for four generations, with the fifth now on their way, learning from their parents. The Travaglini family has owned land in Gattinara since the beginning of the 19th century. They farmed a few hectares of land and produced wine for local consumption. It was not until 1958 however, when the third generation, Giancarlo, established the eponymous Travaglini Estate Winery. It was Giancarlo who recognized a greater potential in Gattinara and executed groundbreaking changes in his vineyards and cellar, unseen before in the appellation. His passion for Nebbiolo helped raise the profile of Gattinara, a commitment that has been carried on through the generations.
