Grown in the hills around Gattinara at the foot of Monte Rosa, the vines are rooted in ancient volcanic soils rich in porphyry, granite and iron, a geological signature that helps give the wines their characteristic tension, savory minerality and almost ferrous edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 is made from 100% Nebbiolo and aged for approximately 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks before additional bottle refinement. Rather than emphasizing sheer power, Travaglini’s style favors perfume, structure and transparency. Expect lifted aromas of red cherry, dried strawberry, rose petal and violet layered with orange peel, wild herbs, tobacco, subtle spice and the stony, iron-tinged character that is a hallmark of Gattinara. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, with bright acidity, finely gripping Nebbiolo tannins and a long, savory finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGattinara remains one of Piedmont’s great insider appellations, producing Nebbiolo with much of the aromatic complexity and longevity associated with Barolo, but with a cooler, leaner and distinctly mineral personality shaped by its Alpine setting and volcanic terrain. Travaglini, one of the denomination’s historic benchmark producers, captures that character beautifully in the 2022—a refined, traditionally styled Nebbiolo that is already expressive with air yet has the structure to develop additional complexity in the cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScore \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 points, James Suckling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RBG DC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455570161921,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/0329\/0113\/files\/travaglini_gattinara_c6d20c36-f34e-4933-a108-ab932a018c80.png?v=1775403493"},{"product_id":"borgogno-barolo-liste-docg","title":"Borgogno Barolo Liste 2009 DOCG","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2009 Borgogno Barolo Liste captures the old-school soul of Barolo in a vintage that delivered both richness and immediate charm. Sourced from the famed Liste cru, this wine leans into the darker, more muscular side of Nebbiolo while still carrying the haunting aromatics that make traditional Barolo so compelling. Dried rose petals, black cherry, tar, orange peel, leather, and crushed herbs unfold slowly from the glass, revealing layer after layer with air. The warmth of the 2009 growing season gave the wine a broader, more generous texture than cooler vintages, yet Borgogno’s steadfastly traditional approach keeps everything grounded in structure and restraint rather than excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a timeless quality to this bottle that feels almost stubbornly Piedmontese. Long macerations and extended aging allow the tannins to arrive firm but integrated, framing notes of dark plum, tobacco, truffle, and balsamic spice. The Liste vineyard often produces Barolo with a certain iron-fisted depth, and in 2009 that power is softened just enough by ripe fruit to make the wine unusually approachable for a traditionally made Barolo. Still, this is not a flashy wine. It moves deliberately, rewarding patience with savory complexity and a finish that lingers with earthy minerality and dried floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors who appreciate the contrast between modern ripeness and classic Barolo discipline, the 2009 Borgogno Liste occupies a fascinating middle ground.
