{"product_id":"travaglini-gattinara","title":"Travaglini 2022 Gattinara 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTravaglini is genuinely the defining name of Gattinara — the largest vineyard owner and foremost producer in this northern Piedmont appellation, farming 59 hectares that represent nearly 59% of the entire Gattinara DOCG, and the #1 selling Gattinara in the world. The family has owned land here since the early 19th century, though it was Giancarlo Travaglini, the third generation, who formally established the eponymous estate winery in 1958; today it's run by fourth-generation Cinzia Travaglini alongside her husband and chief winemaker, Massimo Collauto, with a fifth generation already learning the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGattinara itself is genuinely one of Italian viticulture's great comeback stories — a winemaking region actually older than Barolo, covering nearly 600 hectares by the late 1800s and ranking among the largest in Northern Europe, before phylloxera and a devastating 1905 hailstorm essentially wiped the region out, leaving it nearly forgotten for decades. The vineyards sit at the foot of Monte Rosa on genuinely unique volcanic soils, rich in iron, porphyry, and granite — the only place in the world where Nebbiolo grows on exactly this combination of terroir, giving Gattinara's wines a real mineral tension distinct from the Langhe's more famous Barolo and Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWine Spectator awarded a genuine 91 Points, describing the wine as \"bright, with a crisp edge to its tart cherry, strawberry, rose hip and mineral flavors,\" the \"chalky tannins\" \"present but integrated,\" closing with \"a lingering, iron-tinged aftertaste.\" Antonio Galloni called it \"such a classy, polished wine,\" noting \"sweet macerated cherry, pine, blood orange, spice and new leather are all lifted in the glass,\" with \"silky tannins\" wrapping \"it all up in style,\" calling it \"a very sexy wine from Travaglini\" where \"all the elements are so well balanced.\" The wine ages a full 36 months, 24 of them in Slavonian oak — genuinely patient, traditional maturation. This is genuinely classic, mineral-driven Piedmontese Nebbiolo — real, distinctive terroir from a region that very nearly disappeared entirely, brought back by one family's own multi-generational dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTravaglini 2022 Gattinara is produced by the Travaglini family, the largest vineyard owner in the Gattinara DOCG and the #1 selling Gattinara producer in the world, farming 59 hectares that represent nearly 59% of the entire appellation.
