Gattinara Riserva DOCG TRAVAGLINI

From soils of volcanic origin, rich in minerals and iron, the noble Piedmontese grape Nebbiolo is best expressed, giving rise to wines of great finesse and elegance, with floral and fruity aromas, spicy and mineral aromas. This Gattinara Riserva is an excellent label that is produced only in the best vintages and boasts a notable propensity for aging. The vineyards are located at about 320-420 meters, with sunny south, southwest exposure. The soils are rocky, reddish in colour due to the presence of iron mineral salts. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with maceration on the skins lasting approximately 2 weeks. Final aging requires a 3-year transition in Slavonian oak barrels with an additional 8 months in the bottle before marketing.
