2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #6
The 2007 Antoniolo Gattinara Osso San Grato comes from 5 hectares in the Osso San Grato Cru. The wine is outstanding for its sheer elegance and refinement showing absolutely beautiful aromas strawberry and cherry fruit supported by secondary notes of floral, mineral and hints of fresh eucalyptus. Pure and focused with impeccable purity, structure and ultra-silky tannins for support. Finishes up so clean and pretty leaving behind gorgeous red fruits to linger. This amazing 100% Nebbiolo is extremely young and demands some pretty serious cellaring, that being said this has the potential to last decades and might even merit another point or two in time.
