Nervi-Conterno Gattinara DOCG 2022

The flagship wines at Nervi are their three Gattinara bottlings: Gattinara, Gattinara Molsino, and Gattinara Valferana. The two single-vineyard bottlings contain the best fruit from those vineyards. Molsino, a south-facing amphitheater, tends to ripen earlier and is an overall bigger wine, whereas Valferana sees less sun, ripens somewhat later, and tends more towards elegance. The third bottling contains the best fruit from Garavoglie and Casacce as well as some wine declassified from Molsino and Valferana. In addition to the three Gattinara, Nervi-Conterno makes a delicious and vibrant Rosato from 100% Nebbiolo from the nearby Colline Novaresi, as well as tiny quantities of a refined and elegant Méthode Champenoise sparkling wine called Jefferson with a slightly pink hue, also from 100% Nebbiolo.

• Oldest winery in Gattinara still making wine
• Nervi is lucky enough to have large holdings in two of the top crus of Gattinara – Molsino and Valferana
• With Roberto Conterno’s purchase in 2018, they have begun large scale improvements in the cellar including a large renovation of the cantina as well as the same bottling line that Roberto has at the Conterno estate in Monforte d’Alba
• These wines are already world class and will assuredly only improve as Roberto gains more experience in the area
