Description

"This is a pure Nebbiolo wine from Gattinara. A real smoky allure to it along with dried boysenberries and red rose. A touch of oak to give this wine structure. It will continue to age for up to a decade we reckon."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Nervi

Nervi winery is located in the region of Piemonte of northwestern Italy. Here it is one of the most historic and iconic wineries making wines in the sub-region of Gattinara. Due to its prestige it was recently bought into the Conterno family, a family who have been leaders of Italian wine production in Piemonte for generations.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the red grape varietal behind the King and Queen of Italy's red wine scene: Barolo and Barbaresco. These regions are up in Piemonte where it is also made under the region of Langhe Nebbiolo, which is less complex as the aforementioned regions. Whilst it is not widely planted across the world there are some stunning examples in Australia and California. Red fruits and florals are the hallmarks of Nebbiolo's aromatics and the best examples of Nebbiolo are ageworthy for up to 50 years.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Piemonte
