Nice to be back to this vintage of great value Gattinara after one year. Aged for 3 years in oak barrels, and 7 years in bottle. Pale garnet, ruby hue, touch of tawny. Intense aroma of dried rose petals, cherries, strawberries, tobacco, earth, hint of cured meat. Medium+ body, fragrant, focused and elegant with intense earthy and cherry flavours, high acidity, medium+ velvety tannins.

One bottle with cork. I have the feeling this happens a lot with this winemaker. From the 2009 bottles I had 2 corked till now as well. But, when opened, and put in a caraf for an hour, what a value for price. Traditionally made, but very modern in taste. Fresh and light.

One bottle corked, again. I have the feeling it happens quiet a lot with this winemaker. Had 2 bottles of the 2009 as well. But when opened, after one hour in a caraf...fresh and light. Thow traditional made, very up to date wine.

pale garnet red, raspberries on the nose, raspberry, sour cherries on the palate, fine tannins, slightly astringent, present acidity, at the moment overall a little poor in facets, little inner tension
