Gattinara (a pure expression of Nebbiolo) offers many of the aromatic characteristics one normally associates with Barbaresco and Barolo, two of Italy’s greatest red wines. There are tones of small berry, cola, tar and licorice. The wine is tight and fresh overall and cleans the palate very well.

A three-vineyard Nebbiolo blend (hence the name), which the winery calls “New World” because of the extra fruit and oak. But it’s certainly not fruity or oaky from a New World perspective. It’s earth, tomato, mushroom and tannin, and the acids are bitter. It needs time, lots of it.

Il Sogno is made with grapes that have been air-dried for 100 days. It shows darker concentration and richer aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar and distant smoke. Fresh acidity, solid tannins and generous berry fruit flavors help the wine build in intensity and staying power.

Here’s a light and tonic expression of Nebbiolo (in a specially designed curvy bottle) with pretty aromas of wild berries, moist earth and forest floor. The color is a light and luminous ruby and the mouthfeel is equally streamlined and fresh. Firm tannins and intense flavors of smoke and cedar build momentum on the palate.

Here’s a beautifully aged expression of Nebbiolo with polished aromas of blackberry, cola and scented candle. Background aromas of pressed flowers and potpourri emerge after a few minutes in the glass and the wine evolves nicely in the mouth as well thanks to its silky tannins and natural acidity.

Held in oak for a year longer than the regular release, this wine is woodier and drier, and seems more acidic, too. Hints of black cherries tease the palate but it’s an austere drink, with light tannins. Cries out for olive oil, butter and marbled beef.

Made from the Nebbiolo grape, a ruby-colored agreeable wine with opening aromas of black cherries, chocolate and tar. In the mouth it’s bone dry and delicate, with soft tannins, although the acidity is high enough to burn on the finish.

From the vivid opening fruit centered on black cherries to the long, echoing finish, this is a wine to sit back and enjoy - and you don’t even have to wait 10 or 20 years to do it. Even with the wine’s remarkable depth and layers of flavor, it’s approachable right now.

Harmonious and smooth, this ruby-colored Nebbiolo from the 2001 vintage shows an excellent evolution of aromas. Fresh fruit notes have turned into dried berry and the smoke and wood elements are well integrated. The wine ends with polished tannins and bright acidity.

This Nebbiolo from Gattinara offers a firm and compact nose with aromas of wild cherries, cola and mesquite wood. The 2004 vintage shows harmony and balance with intense flavors of cherry and black fruit on the finish. The polished tannins keep the wine’s texture firm and solid.
