Gattinara 2018 Nervi Conterno
Gattinara Nervi is one of the finest Italian wines from a lesser-known area, that of Gattinara in northern Piedmont, where Nebbiolo distinguishes itself from that of the Langhe for its freshness and verticality, despite maintaining a high level of quality with nothing to envy to its more famous cousins Barolo and Barbaresco. It was born in the historic Nervi winery, the oldest in the area, founded by Luigi Nervi in 1906, just below Monte Rosa.
Gattinara by Nervi comes from vineyards of volcanic porphyry, very rich in minerals, where we find clay and fine sands, between 290 and 425 meters above sea level. The cru Molsino, Valferana, Garavoglia and Casacce give the Nebbiolo grapes, here called Spanna, which allow to create this wine rich in minerals.
Gattinara Nervi is a clean and balanced wine, it is garnet red in colour and has an intense and complex bouquet with hints of underbrush, blueberries, ripe fruit and spices. In the mouth it is full-bodied, with an evolved tannic texture and a nice minerality. A truly long-lived wine capable of improving year after year.
