Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a bright garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fabulous notes of wild raspberries, Morello cherry, freshly cut roses, cedar chest, orange zest, alpine herbs and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is really beautiful stuff. The nose alone positively slays. Drink now through 2041. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — a day ago

Forget my previous post on this bottle. Ageing gave it the surplus I was expecting from a Riserva. Absolutely terrific — 6 months ago

Aug 2025: aeration in open bottle during 2 hours while sipping. Awesome, very elegant, deep and structured, amazing nose and long aftertaste. Best Gattinara I ever had. At peak — 7 years ago

Gorgeous wine. So elegant and refined. Traditional oxidative style but so alive and energetic. — 3 months ago

Incredible bouquet but took a long time to open up and for the mineral and acid to mellow. Smooth and gentle when it finally did. Would only go for cellared bottles. — 5 months ago

Closed. Smoky minerals, but coming off as insipid. May just need time. — 3 months ago

Excellent showing. In balance! I think I’m starting to like the Starderi above their Ca Nova Ciabot — 8 months ago
