2020 Gattinara, Vigna Valferana, Nervi-Conterno

The 2020 Gattinara Valferrana is beautifully lifted and floral. Gorgeous red-toned fruit, white pepper, chalk and orange peel all rush from the glass in this striking, finely-cut Gattinara. Sweet floral notes and a burst of red fruit punctuate the finish. In 2020, the Valferrana is all finesse. It should be even more expressive in another few years' time. ~ (96) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 11-1-2023

A shade paler than the Barolo Francia of the same vintage. More open in comparison and savoury/minerally with hints of liquorice. More open and with slightly less complexity but truly attractive. The same signature fine tannins and length and full aromatic spread on the finish. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 10-9-2024
