Gattinara DOCG "Vigna Valferana" 2016 - Nervi/Conterno

"Vigna Valferana" is a distinguished expression of Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte, capturing the austere elegance and mineral character of one of Gattinara’s most historic crus. Its steep, predominantly west-facing slopes enjoy a slower, more gradual ripening season than the appellation’s sunnier vineyards, lending the wine exceptional aromatic finesse, freshness and poise. Rich in porphyry and iron, the volcanic soils impart a distinctive savoury minerality and subtle ferrous notes. The outstanding 2016 vintage brings together remarkable depth, vibrant freshness and exquisitely fine tannins, revealing an understated elegance that unfolds gracefully in the glass. A Gattinara of exceptional purity and refinement, combining structure and longevity with the promise of even greater complexity as it matures.
