A deeper colour than the 2010 Ghemme from the same producer, and a completely different nose. This is much more muscley, and much more perfumed on the nose, with loganberry, violets and a real lift. A firm palate. Big, spicy flavours. Lots of fine-grained tannins. Bigger and more masculine than the Ghemme; simpler and rather less satisfying.

2010 Torraccia Piantavigna, Gattinara Oransjerød. Markjordbær, fioler og krydder bak på nese. Fløyelsmyk i munn, fin syre, silkefine tanniner, og en deilig, saftig, rødbærspreget, presis frukt. Balansert. Mangler dybde og lengde, men veldig bra til prisen. 87

Very nice Gattinara. Deep red with a slightly mature-looking rim. Expressive nose of violets, wood, cherries and some tar. Lean and acidic on the palate, but in an elegant and balanced style. An absolute STEAL for the money. Would buy again.

Very good with a Cannelloni. Rich and soft with a long taste.

Ljus i färgen, balanserad i smak, liten doft. Bra till mat då det inte tar överhand
