Conterno Gattinara Vigna Molsino Cantine Nervi 2018
$190
Austere, yet with a beam of acidity defining cherry, black currant and mineral flavors. The racy profile keeps everything together, while the structure will allow this to age. Features fine balance, with an aftertaste that echoes the fruit and mineral notes, while picking up savory accents. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,283 cases made.

Primary Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
