Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

This Gattinara 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, geranium and violet followed by aromas of raspberry, plum, rose, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, cinnamon, menthol, leather, cocoa and thyme. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack, pleasing crispness, good roundness, however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well made wine. This Gattinara ages for at least 3 years in cask followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
