Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016

The Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016 is an exceptional wine that boasts a wide range of aromas and flavours. With hints of iron, dried herbs, sweet dried cherry, mint, crushed rocks, white pepper, and earthy notes, this wine offers a unique and complex sensory experience. The minerality of this wine is also noteworthy, as it is infused with intense and saline undertones.

However, it's worth noting that the tannins and acids of the Molsino are currently very strong and overpowering, making it a classic, austere Gattinara that will require some patience. It's recommended that readers allow this wine to age for 10-15 years to achieve its full potential.

What sets the Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' apart from other wines is the fact that it comes in a magnum bottle size of 1.5L. This larger size bottle not only makes for an impressive appearance, but also offers a number of benefits to the wine itself. The larger volume of wine in the bottle means that it ages more slowly and evenly, leading to a more nuanced and complex flavour profile over time. Additionally, the larger size allows for a longer, slower maturation process, resulting in a wine that is smoother and more refined. Overall, the magnum bottle size is a testament to the exceptional quality of the Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016.
