WINE DESCRIPTION
Nervi Gattinara is an extraordinary red wine of remarkable intensity and elegance, crafted from Nebbiolo grapes nurtured in the historic Luigi Nervi estate, active since 1906 and now owned by the renowned Giacomo Conterno winery. Nervi Gattinara was born from the Molsino, Valferana, Garavoglie, and Casacce vineyards, situated between 290 and 425 meters above sea level. The Nebbiolo grapes, locally known as Spanna, express fantastic minerality in this location. Aged for 36 months in traditional large barrels, it presents an intense and complex profile with aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and forest undertones with exquisite fresh and mineral nuances attributed to the volcanic terroir at the foothills of Mount Rosa.
