Damn good Alto Piemonte nebbiolo!
Strong garnet color in the glass. Amazing nebbiolo aromas on the nose – orange peel, black tea, violet or rose (I’m bad at distinguishing floral types), a little strawberry and cranberry, a touch of spice, and a tiny whiff of tar. It just keeps throwing something different as it sits in the glass.
Lifted and bright entry on the palette with strong acidity, and then a surprisingly rich shot of red fruit in the middle. Drying and chewy tannins on the finish, but no bitterness to my taste buds. Pretty long finish for a ~$40 wine.
This is good stuff in my opinion. I’ll say 93 points. I need to get a couple more bottles to throw in the cellar and see if it ages like Barolo.

Riserva is even better.
Had Gattinara Travaglini 2021 five days ago and really enjoyed it too. Lots of black prune, even dried black prune, and a nice light to medium body to the wine.
I am italian and I payed it 22 euros
