Gattinara "Vigna Valferana" 2019 Magnum

Gattinara Vigna Valferana is produced in Gattinara, in the Nervi wineries, by Roberto Conterno of the Giacomo Conterno winery in Monforte d'Alba.

Since Roberto Conterno acquired the Nervi wineries in Gattinara in 2018, we have witnessed increasing attention to this appellation, which makes the Nebbiolo grape the main player in the formation of Gattinara DOCG. The Valferana vineyard has always played a leading role in the lineup of wines produced by Nervi, and Roberto himself believes that this vineyard produces some magnificent Nebbiolos.

The Winery: Nervi Conterno

The Nervi winery is a historic winery in Gattinara, a municipality in Upper Piedmont located at the foot of the Alps and characterized by predominantly volcanic soil, the epicentre of red wine production based on Nebbiolo grapes, the main variety used to create Gattinara DOCG. The region boasts a unique microclimate, with a combination of significant temperature fluctuations, which promotes grape ripening, and the altitude of the vineyards, which helps maintain acidity and freshness in the wines. The richness in iron, magnesium, and potassium, due to the volcanic origin of Gattinara's soils, contributes to the characteristic minerality of the Nebbiolo cultivated in this region. In 2018, the Nervi wineries were acquired by Roberto Conterno, from the Giacomo Conterno winery in Monforte d'Alba, an excellence in Barolo production in the Langhe.
