Nervi Conterno, Gattinara 2016

Nervi Conterno

Case Format: 1x75cl

Azienda Vitivinicola Nervi-Contino is a wine estate in the Gattinara DOCG zone of Piedmont, northern Italy. Sat in the shadow of the Alps, this area was once more recognised than its now much lauded neighbours Barolo and Barbaresco. This wine has a lovely pure red fruited nose with a good dash of salinity. The palate continues with the red fruit but is joined by a light pepper and a tangy savoury component. This will give a lot of joy from the off, but will also age very well. The tannic structure is well-integrated. A fine Nebbiolo and a superb introduction to what can be done in Gattinara.

Monica Larner

Two years ago (before COVID-19), I tasted this wine in a preview capacity at the Giacomo Conterno winery in Monforte dAlba. The 2016 Gattinara is linear and sharp, offering a very silky and smooth approach at this still-young moment in its lifespan. The quality of fruit is brilliant and primary, but the wine has softened and fleshed out nicely, showing hints of its ongoing evolution to the palate with softly integrated tannins. This is an accessible Gattinara that drinks beautifully now, but it also holds the promise of more bottle age should you decide to wait.
