Located in the province of Vercelli, in the Gattinara DOCG area, the Travaglini family-run winery extends over 59 hectares, of which 44 are planted with vines, with plants aged between 6 and 45 years. Here the vineyards, mainly cultivated with Nebbiolo grapes, can enjoy a particular soil with a rocky conformation, rich in granites, porphyries, and iron which guarantees wines with a unique aromatic character and marked minerality. The winery was founded in 1958 by Arturo Travaglini and is today managed by Cinzia, Arturo's niece, and her husband Massimo, who carefully carry on the family tradition and produce wines of great personality.
Gattinara TreVigne is made with Nebbiolo grapes selected from the three vineyards Lurghe, Permolone, and Alice. After vinification, the wine rests in oak barrels for 4 years.
The wine has an intense color with ruby tones and some reflections that tend towards garnet. Its aromatic profile is complex and broad with fruity and floral notes, followed by licorice, cloves, and some balsamic hints. On the palate, it is elegant, concentrated, and full-bodied. It has a firm, well-integrated tannic backbone, and a long, persistent finish. It is a wine with a great personality and well balanced, that pairs deliciously with roast meat.

As someone who has been ordering wine online regularly (22 orders and dozens of bottles since 2022), I have long appreciated 8Wines for offering access to interesting international labels and boutique styles that aren’t always readily available locally. However, a platform's true character isn't revealed when everything goes right; it's tested when a high-value bottle arrives compromised, and that is where 8Wines falls remarkably short. Over the last few years, I’ve spent well over €3,500 with 8Wines. When you spend consistently on a platform, you expect a baseline of mutual trust, especially when purchasing premium bottles where structural integrity is everything. Unfortunately, encountering damaged or flawed bottles on two separate occasions has brought to light a rigid, customer-unfriendly claims policy. A bottle of Susana Balbo Signature Malbec arrived completely cooked and oxidized. Despite detailing the structural defects, the customer service team deflected responsibility, demanded unreasonable layers of proof, and ultimately offered reward points rather than issuing a proper refund or replacement. One year later, another bottle, this time a high-end wine - the Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon arrived leaking in the box with visible stain traces under the capsule. Upon opening, the cork failure was undeniable, and the wine showed the distinct, flat overcooked notes of premature oxidation rather than its intended opulent fruit profile. Instead of acknowledging that cork failure and transport leakage, the 8Wines’ support team engaged in gaslighting. They attempted to lecture about the "jammy profile of the Wagner family." They argued that a leaking, stained bottle with a dry cork and premature oxidation was normal. Rather than standing behind the quality of their high-end stock, 8Wines offered a standard deflection playbook: no blame accepted, no refund given, and a small allocation of reward points thrown in as an appeasement. For a loyal customer who has spent thousands on the platform, being compensated with virtual points for a cooked, expensive wine is a disappointing resolution. Final Verdict 8Wines has an attractive catalogue and smooth shipping logistics when bottles survive the trip intact. But if you gamble on buying expensive, premium bottles here, be aware that you carry all the financial risk. If a cork fails or a bottle cooks in transit, don't expect a refund, expect a corporate email trying to convince you that flawed wine is just part of the "winemaker's style," followed by a handful of reward points to close the ticket, that if you insist upon, otherwise you will be left empty handed. Moving forward, I will reserve my purchases for everyday, lower-risk bottles, and buy any high-end, premium investments strictly from physical storefronts where visual inspection and immediate returns are actually honored.
