Description

The 1955 Gattinara Travaglini is a historic and highly prized wine from one of Piedmont’s most celebrated producers. Travaglini, founded in 1920, is synonymous with the Gattinara appellation and has long been recognized for its mastery of Nebbiolo, known locally as Spanna. This vintage is a remarkable expression of both the region’s volcanic terroir and Travaglini’s commitment to traditional winemaking.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant garnet core with delicate orange-brick reflections, reflecting its advanced age and the enduring elegance of Nebbiolo. The nose is profoundly complex, offering a captivating bouquet of dried cherries, rose petals, and violets, interwoven with earthy notes of truffle, leather, and forest floor. Hints of tar, tobacco, and dried herbs add layers of depth and sophistication, evoking the unique character of Gattinara.

On the palate, the 1955 Gattinara Travaglini is medium-bodied and exquisitely balanced, with softened tannins that have integrated seamlessly over the decades. Flavors of red currants, stewed plums, and dried figs are complemented by savory notes of spice, licorice, and a touch of cocoa. A vibrant acidity preserves the wine’s freshness, while the finish is long and harmonious, leaving an impression of refined complexity and subtle minerality.

This vintage exemplifies Travaglini’s traditional approach to winemaking, with extended aging in large oak casks to highlight the natural structure and aging potential of Nebbiolo. The volcanic soils of Gattinara lend a distinct minerality and elegance, qualities that are beautifully preserved in this wine.

The 1955 Gattinara Travaglini is a rare and treasured piece of Piedmontese winemaking history. Perfectly cellared bottles are a testament to Nebbiolo’s incredible longevity and the craftsmanship of one of Gattinara’s most iconic producers. It offers collectors and connoisseurs a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of aged Nebbiolo.
