Travaglini Gattinara

The Sovereign of Northern Piedmont Nebbiolo

Journey to the rocky, high-altitude foothills of the Italian Alps with Travaglini Gattinara, an extraordinarily elegant and deeply complex red wine. For generations, the historic Travaglini family has stood as the undisputed benchmark producer of the Gattinara DOCG. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo (locally called Spanna), this magnificent wine offers an exceptional, mineral-driven alternative to the heavier reds of southern Piedmont, providing a deeply intellectual and structured pouring experience.

The true soul of this wine stems from its remarkable alpine terroir. The ancient vines dig deep into iron-rich, volcanic soils completely devoid of limestone, a rare geological makeup that infuses the fruit with striking acidity and a clear, stony minerality. Matured for a full 36 months—including 24 months in traditional, large Slavonian oak casks—the wine mellows its fierce mountain tannins into a silky, beautifully woven masterpiece. It is then housed in Travaglini's world-famous, custom-designed asymmetrical bottle, which was originally invented in 1958 to naturally trap sediment while pouring.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Luminous granet-red in the glass with classic brick-orange highlights. It features a precise, medium-to-full body, an energetic structural spine, and fine, chalky tannins that dissolve into a long, savory finish.

• Flavor Highlights: A remarkably complex, perfume-forward nose of dried red cherries, wild raspberries, and crushed red roses blends into secondary layers of leather, tobacco leaf, licorice, and a distinct touch of alpine iron minerality.

• Perfect Food Pairings: A phenomenal, highly gastronomic wine built for classic Northern Italian dining. It pairs flawlessly alongside wild mushroom risotto, slow-braised beef cheeks, roasted game meats, duck breast with a cherry reduction, or sharp aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

• Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed at a cool room temperature. Because of its tight, authentic mountain structure, giving this wine a patient 45-to-60-minute decant will beautifully unlock its complex, layered aromatics.
