Made with 84 months on the lees, the Travaglini 2017 Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero Nebolé is a charming sparkling wine with persistent beading and the kind of linear, focused profile that only Nebbiolo can deliver. Here, however, the grape is grown on Gattinara’s volcanic soils, adding an extra current of energy and mineral precision that feels especially well suited to the Metodo Classico style. The bouquet reveals tart grapefruit, sweet almond and sour currant, with subtle ashy and flinty notes. The palate is lean and streamlined, favoring tension and finesse over richness, with a crisp mineral finish. This is a tiny release of 600 bottles.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Piedmont
Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

The 2017 Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero Nebole is gorgeous in the glass, glistening with a color that reminds me of platinum strewn with nuances of pink. It takes things to a very serious place on the nose, with pungent spiced citrus, wildflowers and flint giving way to crushed yellow apples. It splashes across the palate with a burst of mineral-tinged bubbles and savory spice guided by brisk acidity, which results in a tension-filled finale that leaves the cheeks puckered. A salty flourish lingers on and on as hints of lemon rind and ginger slowly fade.
