Nervi Conterno - Gattinara 'Vigna Molsino' 2020

Nervi is the oldest winery in Gattinara. Gattinara is home to some of the best Nebbiolo vineyards in the world. 

Roberto Conterno (famed Giacomo Conterno) has been involved Nervi since 2011, when Erling Astrup, a wine collector, and friend of his, purchased the winery and sought his counsel. In 2018, Conterno bought the estate outright.

"The 2020 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding Gattinara. Black cherry, plum, licorice, crushed rocks, lavender and spice all race across the palate. A wine of somber intensity, the 2020 is built for the long haul. Deep and beguiling, firm tannins enshroud the long, building finish." - 97 Points, Antonio Galloni Vinous

"The Conterno Nervi 2020 Gattinara Vigna Molsino is Barolo-like in character, says vintner Roberto Conterno, although Gattinara tends to be a little warmer throughout the year compared to Barolo, thus rendering a more generous and immediate side of Nebbiolo. This wine is layered with dark fruit, spice and sweet earth. The Vigna Valferana is more mineral and vertical in character, whereas this wine is textured and velvety. Indeed, its name Molsino is a derivative of a local word for "soft."" - 94 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
