Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Made from 100% Nebbiolo, this Italian Red has aromas of plum and black cherry with notes of cinnamon, cedar, eucalyptus and potpourri as well as chocolate and truffle.

It is medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with sour cherry and tart plum flavours followed by cocoa and cinnamon. The finish is clean and not bitter. The tannins are smooth and well integrated.

Tasted March 2019.

Wine-Food Pairing: I paired this wine with linguine in a fresh marinara sauce topped with grated Romano cheese, a wonderful pairing. It would also pair well with sharp cheeses such as Parmesan, with barbecued red meat, or with grilled Portobello mushrooms.
If you like Barolo, try Travaglini 's Gattinara 2014. Rich red berry and floral nose with dried florals, ripe red plum, berry and savoury spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm and there is vibrant acidity on this wine calling for food. The Nebbiolo wine grapes for this wine were sourced from vines of 12 to 45 years of age. The wine spend 30 months in oak prior to bottling. Decant for one hour prior to pouring with a grilled Tomahawk steak or hold in cellar for five years. - Community Wine Reviews
