🏰The 2022 Nervi Conterno Gattinara is a highly acclaimed expression of Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo, benefiting from the expertise of Roberto Conterno, who acquired Nervi – the oldest winery in Gattinara DOCG – in 2018. This wine captures the elegant tension of Gattinara's unique high-altitude volcanic soils, and the 2022 vintage has already garnered impressive critical ratings. 【With a translucent garnet color, it offers a lifted and aromatic nose brimming with notes of sour cherry, rose petal, blood orange, iron, and crushed stone, complemented by hints of peaches, wild strawberries, and a touch of smoke.】 The palate is refined and structured, featuring fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, a core of red fruit, savory spice, and distinct mineral tension, leading to a long, focused finish with lingering floral and earthy complexity. 🍴 This Gattinara is an excellent match for a variety of dishes, including baked pasta, red game meat, roasts, braised meats, and hard cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with lamb, beef, poultry, and even vitello tonnato. 🥂 A fantastic wine for a celebratory dinner, a serious Italian wine tasting, or a thoughtful gift for any Nebbiolo enthusiast. It is a poised and age-worthy Gattinara that reflects both its unique site and Conterno's signature precision. Serve at 18-20°C (64-68°F). While enjoyable now, decanting for 1-2 hours will allow its complex aromatics to fully unfold and enhance the tasting experience. This wine has significant aging potential.
