a new free online men's lifestyle magazine called HE. You can find it at: www.hemagazine.net |

Great Article on Italian Wine
Interesting...but in my experience, Gattinara has been
disappointing-thin and weak tasting. However, years ago, I used to love the Spannas of Lorenzo Vallana. Whatever happened to them? |

Great Article on Italian Wine
Both the elderly Dessilani & Vallana passed in the mid 80's--Nephew making
wine @ Dessilani. Guy Fogarty, English son in law winemaker @ Vallana---Prior to 1967 when DOC rules were in effect---both wineries used grapes from the South to lend some heft to Gattinara, Ghemme & Spanna. Antoniolo & Traviglini make good Gattinara. Anjelo Gaja purchased the winery, Le Colline, which was excellent. I know Le Colline owned some vineyards near Gaja, I'm sure Gaja has integrated the Barbaresco into his bottlings---Don't know what he did with Gattinara vineyards. Most wine drinkers who like the weight & tannins of Barolo/Barbaresco, find wines of Novara-Vercelli(Gattinara etc) too light. Both the Wine Advocate & Wine Spectator are not champions of Gattinara. English writers more receptive. > wrote in message ups.com... > Interesting...but in my experience, Gattinara has been > disappointing-thin and weak tasting.
