Gattinara 2020 Mauro Franchino 75 cl

Description

History

Initially the production was focused on table wine which was marketed in bulk, but with the advent of the Gattinara DOC in 1967 the wine began to be bottled with the label which still characterizes the company today. In 1990 Gattinara obtained DOCG recognition and in 1991 the management of the company passed to Mauro Franchino’s son, who had already been actively working in the company for years. With Mauro’s arrival in the company, a modernization of the machinery began, but attention was always paid to the production of wines that best express the characteristics of the territory. In 2018 the company passed to the third generation represented by Mauro Franchino’s nephew, Alberto Raviciotti, who continues to modernize the company and the vineyards, always maintaining the tradition of the wines that have characterized the company since its birth.

Tasting notes

Intense garnet red colour. On the nose this wine is deep, austere and territorial, with hints of liquorice root, undergrowth, dried leaves, small red fruits in jam, humus and withered flowers. On the palate, however, it is robust, intense and noble, characterized by an elegant spiciness, great minerality, a tense freshness and a long persistence.

Possible combinations

It pairs perfectly with dishes based on red meat or game, grilled or stewed and also with medium-mature cheeses.
