Nervi Conterno 'Il Rosato', Piedmont, Italy 2025

‘Il Rosato’ 2025, Piedmont, Italy

Nebbiolo in a completely different light. From the historic Nervi estate in Gattinara, under the direction of Roberto Conterno, Il Rosato is a beautifully focused rosé that brings the character of northern Piedmont to the glass. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it opens with fresh grapefruit, wild strawberry, raspberry and delicate floral notes. The palate is bone-dry and energetic, balancing juicy red fruit with bright acidity, savory minerality and a crisp, persistent finish. This is no ordinary summer rosé, it has the freshness for an aperitif and the structure to shine at the table. A distinctive, food-friendly bottle from one of Piedmont’s most respected names, and a must-try for Nebbiolo lovers.

"The 2025 Il Rosato mixes vivid nectarine and navel orange with hints of tarragon and sweet smoke to form its compelling bouquet. It's soft textured with a stimulating core of acidity and sour citrus tones to balance, as a saline mineral saturation adds salivating tension toward the close. It tapers off with excellent length and clarity, leaving flinty notes and a lemony concentration that has me looking back to the glass for more. The magic of Nebbiolo Rosato is on full display."
