Score 93/100 · James Suckling, Jan 2025
An intense, perfumed and very floral wine with aromas of sweet violets, blood oranges, stone fruit and vermouth-like complexity. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with dusty yet ripe tannins that are angular but balanced by fruit and integrated freshness. Try from 2026.

The 2021 Gattinara Vigna Valferana is absolutely gorgeous. A wine of energy, tension and cut, the 2021 is immediately captivating. Crushed rocks, iron, slate, white pepper and mint all race across the palate. The persistent, intensely saline finish is a thing of beauty. The Valferana is a Gattinara for readers who enjoy reds built on energy and tension. This is so expressive, even in the early going.
