The Travaglini Giancarlo winery is located in the Piedmont region, more specifically in the Gattinara DOCG zone, in northwestern Italy. It was founded in 1958 by Giancarlo Travaglini, and it is still a family-run company today. The business is now run by Cinzia Travaglini, Giancarlo's daughter, and her husband Massimo, who continue the winery's tradition and heritage.
A distinctive feature of the Travaglini Giancarlo winery is the unique bottle shape of its wines. This particular bottle was developed in the 1950s and has a slightly curved shape that is not only aesthetically appealing but also makes it easier for sediment to form, resulting in a clearer wine.
This innovative design idea has made the Travaglini brand known worldwide.
The winery is located in Gattinara, a renowned wine-growing region in Piedmont known for its Nebbiolo grapes. The vineyards are located on mineral-rich volcanic soils, which gives the wines a particular structure and complexity.
Travaglini is particularly known for its Gattinara DOCG, a powerful red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. This wine is characterized by its deep color, complex aromas of red fruits, spices and tobacco, and its elegant tannin structure. Other well-known wines from the winery include Gattinara Riserva and Tre Vigne.
