96 Points James Suckling
96James Sucklingpotpourri, wild strawberries, citrus leaves and stony minerality. Full-bodied, it shows the firmness of nebbiolo well balanced by fruit concentration, refreshing acidity and a savory finish. Precise and balanced.
 
91 Points Vinous
The 2021 Gattinara is bright and punchy. A fine introduction to the range, the 2021 possesses notable depth. There is a bit of angularity in the tannins. This is far from an easygoing wine.
 
90 Points Wine Spectator
Vanilla, Bourbon and toasty oak accents frame cherry and strawberry flavors in this racy red. Underscored by eucalyptus and mineral notes, ending with a grip of chewy tannins. Give this time to absorb the oak. Best from 2027 through 2038.
 
Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red in color with garnet reflections. On the nose, aromas of red fruit, blackberry, plum and licorice with hints of vanilla and leather. Full-bodied palate, with intense flavors of cherry, raspberry and spice culminating in a long and smooth finish. Outstanding with red meat, game, and hard cheeses.
