Vallana Gattinara 2004

13% Imported by Rare Wine Co, CA

This was a perfectly correct bottle of Gattinara but was fairly unexciting overall, but especially given their vineyard holdings there. I think this is a little bit of my issue overall with Gattinara, which I love but there isn't much diversity flavor-wise, because it is so small DOCG. Maybe it wasn't a good period for them, perhaps it was slightly corked or perhaps I'm just not excited about young Alto Piedmont, like the Santuvario I had the other day. Maybe in another 20 years this would be more up my alley, but kind of doubt it.

Thanks
Fraser
