Made from Nebbiolo grapes, locally known as Spanna, it stands out for its complex and enveloping bouquet. On the nose, notes of \u003cstrong\u003esmall red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, medicinal herbs and a distinctive ferrous note emerge. On the palate, it is harmonious, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e and a fine texture that give it remarkable gustatory drive. Its refined drinkability makes it the ideal companion for \u003cstrong\u003erich risottos\u003c\/strong\u003e and roast meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the renowned Valferana vineyard, located at the foot of Monte Rosa in Piedmont. The proximity to the Alpine massif ensures a \u003cstrong\u003eunique microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e and excellent sun exposure, both fundamental for the slow and steady ripening of Nebbiolo. The volcanic soils, rich in \u003cstrong\u003equartz porphyry\u003c\/strong\u003e, clays and valuable minerals such as iron and potassium, have a marked acidity. This particular geological composition gives the wine a profound \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing the vibrancy of its colour and the solidity of its structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the bunches are destemmed and gently crushed. The \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out by indigenous yeasts, takes place at a controlled temperature in cement and steel vats for over three weeks, with the use of a small proportion of whole bunches. Subsequently, the wine matures for a long time in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which encourage slow and steady micro-oxygenation. The ageing process continues in historic cement vats and ends with a period of rest in the bottle, ensuring Gattinara’s \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGattinara Vigna Valferana\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the excellence of the oldest winery in the Vercelli area, founded at the beginning of the twentieth century and now led by Roberto Conterno. Made exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, locally known as Spanna, this prestigious red originates from the historic vineyard at the foot of Monte Rosa, once known as Val Florana. Thanks to careful ageing in the evocative underground cellars with their original vaulted ceilings, the wine develops an aristocratic charm and \u003cstrong\u003eextraordinary longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, reaching its full expressive peak after a decade of waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nervi Conterno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45631582011563,"sku":"58221","price":116.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/nervi-conterno-gattinara-vigna-valferana-2021_58221_1_73497620-f095-434e-a9ed-31d9df4f64cb.webp?v=1773779814","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/nervi-conterno-gattinara-vigna-valferana-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
