The Nervi estate is the oldest in the DOCG of Gattinara, north of Piedmont, founded in 1906 by original owner Luigi Nervi. A long time admirer of the wines and friends of the owners at the time, Roberto Conterno (of Giacomo Conterno fame) purchased a 90% stake in the winery in 2018, renaming it Conterno Nervi. A relatively new designation, Gattinara became a DOCG in 1990, and while the wines show similarities to those of Piedmont, generally Gattinara reds have a more elevated feel, savoury and structured, with plenty of acidity and fine tannins allowing for great longevity.

Nervi's Rosato is sourced from four crus across the Gattinara commune, harvested around 1-2 weeks earlier than the Gattinara DOCG fruit. Following a long, cool fermentation, the wine is racked into steel tanks and left on lees for 6 months prior to bottling. Expect a rosé with exquisite texture and interest, along with bright and crunchy berry fruit.
