Gattinara Nervi-Conterno 2022 (750ML)

Molsino and Valferana are among the Gattinara sites behind Nervi-Conterno’s 2022, a 100% Nebbiolo grown on the volcanic soils of this northern Piedmont appellation. Founded in 1906, Nervi is Gattinara’s oldest established winery, and in 2018 it was bought by Roberto Conterno, the winemaker behind Giacomo Conterno in Barolo. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and macerated on the skins for three to four weeks, then the wine spends 30 to 36 months in large oak casks. Crushed flowers and red fruit lead on the nose, with leather beneath. The palate leans savory rather than sweet, with a mineral cut that runs through to the finish. Serve it with slow-roasted pork, soft polenta with fontina or sautéed chanterelles.
