The recovery of northern Piedmont. This could be the title of a trend that has been growing stronger for a few years now. It may be due to the definition of new stylistic paradigms of reference or due to the climate that has changed, making territories with a less "sunny" past forcefully emerge, the fact is that the great Nebbiolos are no longer and only those of the Langa. Among the most authoritative denominations of this old-new course there is certainly Gattinara, capable of a host of excellent winemakers including the star Nervi. Founded by Luigi Nervi in ​​1906, it is the oldest winery in the denomination. It was purchased in 2011 by the Norwegian Astrup family, which holds the most significant part in collaboration with the Moestue, Wicklund and Skjelbred families and then passed under the command of Conterno. There are 24 hectares of vineyards owned, which include crus of great charm, such as Garavoglie, Valferana and Molsino. The latter, in particular, is the heart of the famous granite hills of the area, a wonderful amphitheater facing south. The 2003 is in great shape, ferrous and rich in root notes, elegant, with good tannins
