Travaglini il Sogno
Driven by a passion for exceptional Nebbiolo, the Travaglini family has been producing remarkable, limited-production wines from their eponymous estate in Gattinara for four generations, with the fifth now on their way, learning from their parents. The Travaglini family has owned land in Gattinara since the beginning of the 19th century. They farmed a few hectares of land and produced wine for local consumption. It was not until 1958 however, when the third generation, Giancarlo, established the eponymous Travaglini Estate Winery. It was Giancarlo who recognized a greater potential in Gattinara and executed groundbreaking changes in his vineyards and cellar, unseen before in the appellation. His passion for Nebbiolo helped raise the profile of Gattinara, a commitment that has been carried on through the generations.
Rich and luminous garnet color. On the nose, it reveals itself gradually, with abundant aromas of cherry, blackberry and plum jam, black cherry syrup, and balsamic nuances. It is completed by hints of menthol and anise that open up to notes of cocoa and cinnamon spices, paired with candied citrus peels, potpourri, mineral nuances, and raisins. On the palate, it is soft yet structured, supported by tension and freshness, with a pleasant savory note and enveloping tannins.
