“Silky, elegant, and wonderfully nuanced, the 2019 Gattinara Il Putto is seriously impressive. All the elements are impeccably balanced. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of bright, red-toned fruit. Medium in body, yet deep and resonant, this classically built Gattinara is fabulous. I especially admire the energy and purity here.”
Remember that first Cantina Delsignore I brought you earlier this year? The one that had everyone talking? Well, I promised there would be more to come from this exciting estate, and today I’m delivering something truly special – the highest-rated Gattinara we’ve ever offered and at an insanely good price.
Cantina Delsignore is exactly the kind of producer I love bringing to you – small, family-owned, doing everything by hand, exactly the way it should be done. Their Gattinara Il Puto is an absolute gem. Antonio Galloni agreed – he called it “one of the most exciting wines I tasted” in his Alto Piemonte report. He also praised the dynamo winemaker Stefano Doreli as being “among the first-generation in Alto Piemonte that is making waves”. Trust me, both statements couldn’t be more spot-on.
