Traviarti Rosso 2023

A very different expression this year, 2023 being cool and wet; rounder, softer and juicier. Blackberry, cassis, plum, dark cherry and raspberry, with a savoury squeeze of fennel, bay leaf and dried flowers. Is there an evolution in style, or is it the vintage? I’m thinking the latter. The more gentle structure a product of the year, rather than a deliberate toning down of those gripping Traviarti tannins. Balanced and. like the Chardonnay, effortless and poised. Approachable now, certainly, but that long flavour and inherent balance will ensure even better things to come over the next 5 years or more. Waters Wine Co

A wet year was ideal for this dry and warm site bringing the best tannin profile we’ve seen from here albeit fine and approachable early. Only 7% Barbera was the perfect foil bringing some plush dark fruits to this essentially savoury varietal nebbiolo. Probably best yet. Simon Grant – Traviarti
