Nervi Conterno Gattinara Vigna Valferana 2022

Nervi-Conterno’s Gattinara Vigna Valferana 2022 is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s historic appellations, where the grape is traditionally known as Spanna. Made on the Valferana slope beneath Monte Rosa, it combines the character of this distinctive alpine site with the long cellar ageing associated with Gattinara.

Tasting Notes
Nebbiolo from Gattinara typically shows a garnet-red colour that develops brick-toned hues with age. The nose may reveal red cherry, dried flowers and savoury, earthy notes, while the palate is shaped by firm acidity and Nebbiolo’s characteristic tannins, with a long, structured finish. This is a wine built for patience: the producer suggests enjoying it after around ten years, and notes that it can mature for considerably longer. The 2022 vintage will benefit from time in bottle, allowing its tannins and aromas to evolve.

Production
The Valferana vineyard—originally called Val Florana—lies beneath Monte Rosa, where its sunny exposure and the mountain’s influence create a distinctive microclimate for Nebbiolo. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The wine matures for three years in large oak casks, followed by ageing in old concrete tanks and a further three to six months in bottle. Harvesting details are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, ideally after allowing the wine to breathe. Decanting for an hour or two can help open a young bottle; mature vintages may need less time. Its acidity and tannic structure make it a natural match for braised beef, roast lamb, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses.

Producer
Nervi is a historic Gattinara estate, founded in 1906 and widely regarded as the appellation’s oldest winery. Since 2018 it has been part of the Conterno family’s portfolio, bringing together Nervi’s local heritage with the experience of the Piedmontese producer Roberto Conterno.
