2016 Travaglini Gattinara Riserva, Italy, Piedmont, Wine Review
This is the wine that comes in an odd shaped bottle that almost looks like it melted and was disfigured. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, this is the Riserva version which means the best parcels are harvested from Travaglini’s oldest vineyards (35-60 years). The wine is aged for 4 years: 3 years in Slavonian oak casks of different sizes. The wine then rests in bottle for 12 months.
