2022 Gattinara, Mauro Franchino

<div>This tiny estate is today managed by Mauro's nephew, Alberto, but still there's a sense of timelessness to the wines. 100% Nebbiolo (or Spanna as its known locally), the '22 Gattinara is a touch riper than the '21 given the warm, dry growing season. It remains, though, &nbsp;alpine fresh, with assertive tannins that call for time – or, if broached earlier, a rich osso bucco. The finish is long and sapid. Franchino’s '22 Gattinara is a wine with tremendous character and a real sense of place.&nbsp;</div>
