Tasting notes
Rosehip tea and chipotle and hibiscus – exceptional, spellbinding on the bouquet alone. Thrumming with spice in a silken web of tannins, rose petals and fading cherries. A wine that finds half-forgotten stories, drifting memories, and weaves poetry from the fragments. Hauntingly beautiful. (TC)

Vallana's 2007 Gattinara is delicious, bold and forward. Burly tannins give the Gattinara a slightly rustic edge. Even so, there is enough depth for the 2007 to drink well for another decade or so. There is a slightly roasted quality to the fruit and a bit of burliness in the tannin, and yet all the elements are nicely balanced, which makes Vallana's Gattinara a good choice for readers who enjoy wines with the aromatic complexity that develops in bottle.
