Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 2020

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara is a beautifully structured Nebbiolo from one of northern Piedmont’s most historic appellations, where elegance and mineral depth go hand in hand. Produced by the esteemed Nervi-Conterno estate, this wine combines the finesse of Gattinara with the pedigree and precision associated with one of Italy’s most revered producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous garnet hue with the pale rim characteristic of Nebbiolo. The nose is refined and layered, offering notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, dried herbs, tar, and a distinctive stony, savory edge. On the palate, it is firm and focused, with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a linear, mineral-driven core. The fruit is precise rather than lavish, evolving toward earthy, balsamic, and floral nuances with age. This is a wine built for the long haul and should gain complexity over many years in bottle.

Production
Gattinara is one of the most distinctive sites in Piedmont, shaped by volcanic soils rich in minerals that lend the wines their taut structure and savory character. Nebbiolo is typically harvested by hand at full ripeness, with careful selection to preserve the grape’s natural aromatic complexity and tannic backbone. Vinification aims to respect the transparency of the site, often relying on traditional methods and patient élevage to refine the wine without masking its character. The result is a Nebbiolo that reflects both the power of the appellation and the finesse of a modern, detail-oriented producer.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for braised veal, roast lamb, game birds, porcini mushrooms, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours when young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.

Producer
Nervi is one of the oldest estates in Gattinara, with a history that has helped define the reputation of the region. Under the Conterno name, it has gained even greater recognition for producing deeply expressive, terroir-driven Nebbiolo with impressive precision. The estate is regarded as a benchmark for Gattinara, admired for wines that combine authenticity, structure, and remarkable aging potential.
