Nervi eller rettere Nervi Conterno som det hedder efter Roberto Conternos køb af vingården i 2018 beliggende i det lille vinområde Gattinara i det nordlige Piemonte. Vinen er lavet på nebbiolo (lokalt betegnes spanna). Det er flotte syreholdige vine der holder et ganske burgundisk udtryk.
The 2016 Gattinara Vigna Valferana is every bit as impressive from bottle as it was from cask. Rich and resonant, the 2016 is so supremely beautiful as it opens up in the glass. It is a wine of real breadth and textural expansiveness. Rose petal, mint, sweet dried cherry, tar, anise and orange peel are some of the nuances that emerge, but the Valferana is a wine to admire for its total sense of balance. In a word: Lights out. Make that two words. 2024 - 2056
