Gattinara Vigna Valferana 2019, Nervi-Conterno
A monumental red with steel-like rigor and mineral charisma. The aromatic profile alternates small red fruits with tertiary and iron-like notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the force of volcanic tannins and the verticality of the sip. A demonstration of style that defines the concept of 'austere finesse' in contemporary winemaking.
Gattinara Vigna Valferana 2019, Nervi-Conterno
The Gattinara Vigna Valferana 2019 from Nervi-Conterno is a masterpiece of rigor and austerity, considered by many the "Barolo Monfortino" of Upper Piedmont. The Valferana vineyard is a natural amphitheater rich in iron and manganese, elements that result in a Nebbiolo of extreme verticality and depth. The 2019 vintage, fresh and classic, highlighted the mineral and almost “iron-like” character of this cru. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of tart red berries, blood orange, and dried rose petals blend with deep hints of quinine root, scorched earth, graphite, and a mineral streak reminiscent of sea salt and flint. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its severity; the entry is direct, dominated by a dense, noble, and still proudly austere tannin, stretching toward a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by balsamic freshness and an aristocratic mineral trail.
