Aug 2025: aeration in open bottle during 2 hours while sipping. Awesome, very elegant, deep and structured, amazing nose and long aftertaste. Best Gattinara I ever had. At peak — 7 years ago

The 2020 Gattinara is elegant and lifted. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon and orange peel grace this ethereal, nuanced Gattinara. Bright saline notes and sweet red-toned fruit build into the long, persistent finish. Understated and silky, the 2020 is exquisite. All this needs is a few years to soften.

Translucent garnet with a bit of oranging.
Floral nose with red currant and raspberry fruit.
Light bodied, upright acidity and astringency giving way to velvet tannins. Probably has another 10 years before peaking. — 3 years ago

Incredible bouquet but took a long time to open up and for the mineral and acid to mellow. Smooth and gentle when it finally did. Would only go for cellared bottles. — 5 months ago

(From our cellar)
Pale ruby, old leather, funky ripe strawberry, dried roses, damp concrete block; dried raspberries, dried cherry then rehydrated. 3H decant, but more time appreciated as it's really unfolding in the glass tonight. — 3 years ago

Nervi Gattinara Riserva 1982. Wow, what a wine! Still had some grip after more than 40 years. Lots of leather and cigar box, but also some red fruit. Cork was in remarkably good shape and the neck fill was pretty high, so we speculated that it might have been filled up and recorked before release. Great wine, showing what was there before the Conternos ever got involved. — 3 years ago
