Gattinara Nebbiolo D.O.C.G. Red Wine from Nervi Contorno Vineyard Designate

The 2019 Gattinara Molsino by Nervi-Conterno is a masterclass in Piedmont’s iconic Nebbiolo grape, crafted from volcanic soils in Italy’s esteemed Gattinara region. This bold red wine captivates with its layered complexity, earning 97 points from Vinous and 94 points from Jeb Dunnuck for its profound depth and aging potential.

Opening with smoky aromas intertwined with leather, licorice, and wild black cherry, this wine reveals a striking balance between power and elegance. Its dark fruit profile—think blackberry and cranberry—is lifted by earthy notes of wet stone and tea leaf, reflecting its cool-climate terroir. The palate delivers ripe yet structured tannins, offering both immediate appeal and exceptional longevity. Cellar-ready yet approachable with time in the glass, it promises to evolve gracefully over 15+ years, rewarding patient enthusiasts with its evolving resonance.

Perfect for collectors or those seeking a bold Nebbiolo alternative to Barolo, this wine shines at cellar temperature or paired with robust dishes like braised meats or aged cheeses. At 14.5% alcohol, it balances richness with freshness—a testament to Gattinara’s volcanic minerality. A rare find in Italy’s northern vineyards, this Molsino exemplifies why Nervi-Conterno stands among Piedmont’s finest producers.
