Nervi-Conterno Gattinara Molsino 2020

We’re hanging on by a thread here while Nervi-Conterno Gattinaras remain at least within this stratosphere in terms of pricing. It’s hard to not imagine this will continue to spike the way all Nebbiolo made by Roberto Conterno does. Yes, that Conterno – one of the most revered producers not just in Piedmont or Italy, but in the entire wine world.

Let me put this in perspective. Roberto’s top Barolo, the mythical Monfortino, commands $1,900 per bottle. It’s so exclusive he hasn’t released one since the 2015 vintage. But in 2018, this perfectionist winemaker set his sights on Gattinara, acquiring Nervi – the oldest continuously operating winery in the region and one of the largest growers of Nebbiolo.

Roberto Conterno doesn’t do anything by halves. He completely overhauled Nervi’s operations, meticulously crafting wines for years before even considering putting the Conterno name on the label. We’re talking Thomas Keller-level obsession here – Roberto is so particular he even had his own stemware made because nothing on the market met his exacting standards.
