The 2018 Gattinara Valferana is explosive right out of the glass. Supporting veins of tannin carry a core of red fruit, cinnamon, rose petal, blood orange, mint and white pepper. The Valferana is complex and wonderfully deep from start to finish. Valferana is the cooler of the twoo single vineyard Gattinaras that are bottled separately here. The 2018 is a special wine. 96/100 (Antonio Galloni – Vinous)
Ever since Roberto Conterno, Giacomo Conterno’s iconic winemaker, took over Nervi in Gattinara, international interest in Alto-Piedmont has risen significantly. Nervi-Conterno’s wines are now among the top in the region and are on a par with the finest Barolo and Barbaresco.
