Nervi is the oldest winery in Gattinara, a small town in Alto Piemonte nestled at the foot of the Alps, in a fascinating region rich in wine history. Here, on volcanic soils rich in iron, magnesium, and potassium, one of the most distinctive Nebbiolos of Piedmont is born, cultivated in a unique terroir for its climate, altitude, and geological composition. The grape variety, locally called Spanna, finds ideal conditions here to express a refined minerality, vibrant acidity, and elegant structure, which characterize Gattinara DOCG. One of the estate's most iconic crus is Vigna Molsino, a true natural amphitheater facing south, which cradles the vines like a cradle, ensuring slow and complete ripening.
Fermentation in concrete tanks
48 months in oak barrels
Bright ruby red color that fades into garnet reflections. Complex and deep aroma, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and purple, enriched with balsamic nuances, lavender, myrtle and a clear mineral-ferrous trace. Very full-bodied and structured, it enters juicy but taut, supported by vibrant freshness and a dense and vigorous tannin structure. The finish is long, savory and extraordinarily persistent.
Vinous 94/100, Falstaff 94/100
Tagliolini with Alba white truffle, risotto with Castelmagno and stracotto, or agnolotti stuffed with roast beef sauce. Caprello in umido, wild boar stew or duck breast. Braised beef (or Barolo) with Gattinara cheese, beef fillet in crust and roast lamb with long cooking time. Very developed hard or herbal cheeses.
