Excellent wine Gattinara Bervi 2009 — 7 months ago
Nervi Gattinara Riserva 1982. Wow, what a wine! Still had some grip after more than 40 years. Lots of leather and cigar box, but also some red fruit. Cork was in remarkably good shape and the neck fill was pretty high, so we speculated that it might have been filled up and recorked before release. Great wine, showing what was there before the Conternos ever got involved. — 2 years ago
This showed extremely well. Enjoyed at Frasca in Boulder on Father’s Day. Paired perfectly with the duck. #Frascafoodandwine — 5 months ago
The 2020 Gattinara is elegant and lifted. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon and orange peel grace this ethereal, nuanced Gattinara. Bright saline notes and sweet red-toned fruit build into the long, persistent finish. Understated and silky, the 2020 is exquisite. All this needs is a few years to soften. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024)

(From our cellar)
Pale ruby, old leather, funky ripe strawberry, dried roses, damp concrete block; dried raspberries, dried cherry then rehydrated. 3H decant, but more time appreciated as it's really unfolding in the glass tonight. — 2 years ago
Translucent garnet with a bit of oranging.
Floral nose with red currant and raspberry fruit.
Light bodied, upright acidity and astringency giving way to velvet tannins. Probably has another 10 years before peaking. — 2 years ago

Substantial. Big for a rose. Hint of herbs, tart stone fruits. Hint orange blossoms, touch jasmine. — 3 months ago
