2020 Nervi Conterno Vigna Valferana, Gattinara DOCG, Italy S.C. Pannell old bush vine vineyardsNervi is lucky enough to have large holdings in two of the top crus of Gattinara Molsino and Valferana; of the two, Valferana sees less sun, ripens somewhat later, and tends more towards elegance. Gentle destemming and crushing. Fermentation in truncated conical oak vats at controlled temperature. Aged for about four years in large, wood vats.
