insane purity

This works particularly well in combination with dark sauces and strong dishes

apricot and white lilies celebrate over a salty and minerally finish

the touch of creaminess from long sur-lie maturation giving this exactly the soft touch it needs to balance the steely minerality that powers it at the imposing yet totally vibrant finish

Nervi Conterno Vigna Molsino, Gattinara DOCG, Italy 2019 Matt Taylor insane purityThe 2019 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding wine. Smoke, incense, licorice and leather open in the glass, but only with great reluctance. A wine of tremendous persistence and presence, the Molsino is so impressive in 2019. It is also embryonic and in need of cellaring. The only question is how long. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural resonance, offering a glimpse of what will come in time. 97 Pts Vinous
