Roberto Conterno, was excited to be able to get his hands on the historic Nervi estate in 2018. The estate is the oldest in Gattinara (1906) and stood out to Roberto in part because of its history of success but, also because of the unique terroir. Opposite to Barbaresco and Barolo, Gattinara is comprised of a unique volcanic based soil at altitude. The vineyards at Nervi combine those characteristics with traditional approach in the cellar that includes extended aging in large oak barrels.
Valferana's aspect tilts towards the west and is the cooler of the two vineyards. It's grace has been known since 1231. Molsino, known since the 15th century has a more southerly exposure. It is more powerful of the two and also considered amongst the top Gattinara vineyards.
