“THE WORTHIEST AND MOST “ARISTOCRATIC OF ITALIAN” WINES”
Mario Soldati’s short but meaningful comment really does sum up what many connoisseurs think about that “pearl” of the world’s oenological landscape, the Gattinara DOCG appellation.
The Travaglini Gattinara offers a number of incomparable sensory characteristics which help to make this great wine unique: an intense dark red colour along with rose and violet bouquets, plus a few hints of anis, vanilla, spices and undergrowth. This is a wine to satisfy even the most sophisticated of palates, and its smoothness and roundness will endear it to those in search of elegant, intense sensations.
The Gattinara is an austere, noble wine and combines perfectly with game and roasts. It also goes very well with strong, well-structured dishes and hard blue cheeses.
These characteristics have helped Travaglini Gattinara make its way into the famous Wine Spectator Top 100. And that is by no means all: the prestigious “Duemilavini 2004” guide published by the Italian Sommeliers Association (AIS) awarded the maximum score of “5 Bunches” to GATTINARA DOCG 1999 TREVIGNE. The 2005 edition has awarded “5 Bunches” to GATTINARA DOCG ‘RISERVA’ 1999. The 2006 edition has awarded “5 Bunches” to GATTINARA DOCG RISERVA 2000. The 2007 edition has awarded “5 Bunches” to GATTINARA DOCG RISERVA 2001.
