This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed by aromas of blueberry, rose, coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, menthol, leather and chocolate. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a pleasing crisp attack, slightly tannic and good roundness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry and plum. A well made wine. This Gattinara ages for 10-12 months in barrique.
