The 2006 Gattinara San Francesco possesses additional layers of power in its dark, sumptuous fruit, while showing off considerable energy, finesse and focus. The balance of fruit and French oak is totally harmonious in the San Francesco. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.
I was totally blown away by the wines I tasted from Antoniolo this year. Quite simply, these are some of the very finest Gattinaras I have ever tasted. The Osso San Grato in particular is a must-have bottle.
