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.
Tasted next to the Valferana, the 2016 Gattinara Vigna Molsino is much more nervous in feel. Iron, dried herbs, sweet dried cherry, mint, crushed rocks, white pepper and earthy notes give the Molsino a good deal of aromatic complexity to match its intense, saline-infused minerality. Today, though, the tannins and acids are almost overpowering. Readers will find an old-school, classically austere Gattinara that needs 10-15 years to be at its best. The 2016 is an absolute jewel of a wine, but it should be purchased only by readers with either very good genes are a ton of optimism regarding their own longevity. 2031 - 2066
