Nervi Conterno Vigna Molsino, Gattinara DOCG, Italy 2021
Vigna Molsino Gattinara DOCG 2021 is a standout single‑vineyard expression of Nebbiolo from the historic volcanic‑derived terroir of Gattinara in northern Piedmont. The 2021 vintage captures the region’s signature tension and mineral intensity, with aromas of bright red cherry, wild raspberry, and violet layered over sage, crushed rock, and dried herb nuances. On the palate it shows refined structure — firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a steely, saline backbone — giving the wine both early allure and excellent aging potential. Elegant and focused, Vigna Molsino is a compelling example of how Gattinara’s high‑altitude, granitic soils shape Nebbiolo into wines of finesse, persistence, and distinctive personality, pairing beautifully with braised meats, porcini dishes, and aged cheeses.
"The 2021 Gattinara Molsino is dense, creamy and expansive. Dark toned fruit, leather and spice open first, followed by exotic floral overtones that build over time. There's gorgeous density and resonance here, if not quite the dynamic, layered complexity of the very best vintages." Vinous 93
