Nervi-Conterno, Gattinara 2017

$65

Having the last name Conterno in Barolo is a bit like bearing the last name Kennedy. Are they a real Kennedy? Or did they just happen to inherit a name that denotes prestige and elegance greater than any other? Or are they just a cousin that has gone off the rails a bit…

Well, this is the real Conterno. The real Conterno is now run by the incredibly ambitious Roberto Conterno. While managing the historic winery, Giacomo Conterno, and making Italy’s greatest red wine there, Monfortino, he decided to purchase a winery an hour’s drive north in Gattinara, a region known for using the same grape as Barolo, but in a lighter style. The result is a wine that has all the fresh and floral flavors of Barolo, but without the richness.
