Nervi-Conterno Vigna Valferana Gattinara 2019 MG

Nervi-Conterno Vigna Valferana Gattinara 2019 is a striking Nebbiolo from one of northern Piedmont’s most characterful crus, offering both precision and intensity. This is a wine that balances vivid red-fruited energy with Gattinara’s signature mineral backbone, making it especially appealing to lovers of structured, site-driven Nebbiolo. As part of the historic Gattinara appellation, it reflects a long tradition of elegant mountain-grown red wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a clear, bright red hue typical of Nebbiolo, with an inviting youthful transparency. The nose is highly expressive, opening with red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, and fresh leather, layered over subtle earthy and mineral nuances. On the palate, the 2019 Valferana is a touch more intense than the 2020, with a bit more tannin and structure, yet everything feels well integrated and purposeful. The fruit is lively and refined, and the wine’s firm frame suggests excellent development potential over time. It should age gracefully for many years, gaining complexity and softness with bottle age.

Production
Vigna Valferana comes from Gattinara in Piedmont, a cool, elevated zone shaped by volcanic soils and a distinctly Alpine-influenced climate, both of which lend Nebbiolo extra freshness and tension. The vineyard’s terroir is well suited to producing wines with aromatic lift, firm tannins, and a mineral-driven finish. While specific vinification details are not provided, the style clearly emphasizes careful extraction and a vinification approach that preserves purity, structure, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic Piedmontese dishes such as braised beef, roast veal, mushroom risotto, or tajarin with truffle. It also works well with game, aged hard cheeses, and rich tomato-based preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended to allow the wine’s aromatics and structure to open fully.
