The 2007 Gattinara is simply stunning. Freshly cut flowers red cherries and spices are some of the notes that emerge from this elegant radiant Gattinara. There are no signs of greenness or hard edges anywhere in sight yet the wine retains the mid-weight structure that differentiates Gattinara from other Nebbioli. This is supple classy and engaging from start to finish. The 2007 is a fabulous wine at this level and also makes a great introduction to Gattinara and the wines of Antoniolo. Anticipated maturity: 2012- 2019. --- Antonio Galloni
