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.

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. — a year ago

(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. — a year ago
