Travaglini 1995 Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- $29
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.

Dessilani 2000 Riserva Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $55
An exceptional example of an underappreciated appellation, this Gattinara offers up a gorgeous nose of animal, leather and spice accented by high floral tones. The palate has mature tannins and a complex tangle of flavors ranging from charcoal-grilled meat to earth and mushrooms. A nice kick of acidity on the finish means it can stand up to even the heaviest duck dishes.

Travaglini 2001 Riserva Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- $45
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.

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.

Travaglini 2004 Riserva Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
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.

Travaglini 1996 Riserva Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- $35
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.
