    April 24, 2020 - 200 NOK. Helt mursteinsrød , ingen farge av fersk frukt. Forsiktig moden lukt, gammelt treverk og marsipan . Elegant smak av nype, mors nypeekstrakt. Avslipte tanniner og fin syre. Med litt tid i glasset kommer det, jordbær, mynte

    February 27, 2017 - A very nice Gattinara now reaching its platform. Typical Nebbiolo, lively and elegant, red fruit, sour cherry, more like a Barbaresco than a Barolo. Medium body and finish. Very dinner friendly with pasta or risotto. I recently attended a tasting with Nervi wines. I preferred this one with food more than the more substantial Valferana or the even bigger Molsino.

    December 6, 2016 - Very translucent and rather pale cherry red color with a brick-orange hue. Wonderfully open and nuanced nose with attractive aromas of ripe cherries, rowanberries, some sweet smoky tones, a little bit of earthiness and a hint of tar. The wine is light-to-medium-bodied, smooth and crunchy on the palate with dry flavors of ripe red cherries, sour cherry bitterness, some rowanberry marmalade, a little bit of tart cranberry, light smoky tones and a hint of tobacco. Although dry and noticeably acid-driven in style, there is still a pleasant streak of sweetness that lends good sense of balance to the wine. The 10 years of age have smoothed the wine's mouthfeel, but the overall impression is still quite firm and structured, thanks to the high acidity and the healthy and still somewhat grippy - but not aggressive - tannins. The finish is long, super-juicy and moderately grippy with flavors of ripe red cherries, some crunchy cranberries, a little bit of sour cherry bitterness, hints of sweeter dark fruits and a touch of smoky spice.

    A beautiful, classic Gattinara that performs really well despite the somewhat challenging vintage. This is not the biggest or burliest Nebbiolo out there - but Gattinara very rarely is big or ripe anyway. Although starting to show the first signs of development, the wine still feels relatively youthful and most likely it will take another decade before the wine is at its peak. Wonderful stuff, Nervi really doesn't disappoint. Terrific value at 15,50€.

    November 13, 2016 - Pine and eucalyptus aromas. Lighter than the Molsino, but more elegant.

    September 25, 2015 - siste av tre flasker. ingen flaskefeil. på nesen er den medium intens med modne jordbær frisk frukt men forsiktig fremlagt så man må lete litt. lekkert. te, lyse rosiner. i munn har den litt forsiktig inngang før den nesten eksploderer i munn med frisk moden og syrlig frukt litt tørkede og kryddrede tanniner. frisk utgang som er medium pluss lang. god vin

    July 7, 2014 - Light brownish red. Thyme and rosemary and other herbs on the nose, in addition to blackcurrant leaves. Light and fruity with good intensity. A very nice wine.

    April 20, 2014 - Tiltalende ren nese av røde/mørke bær, og noe floralt. Får et litt tyngre aromabilde med litt tid og høyere temperatur, i retning tobakk og lakris.
    Saftig frukt med bra trøkk og fin friskhet. Middels intense tanniner som tørrer lett i munnhulen. God lengde, ørlite varm finish og det føles nesten som jeg kjenner noe mineraler på slutten her.
    Ikke noe jeg vanligvis legger merke til i rødvin. 88-89p
    Suveren til lammeribbe med risotto.

    March 12, 2014 - Helt lys rød. Rett fra flasken veldig tydelige jordbær og andre røde bær. Nesten som husholdningssaft. Lett, røde bær, åpen og flott. Noe plomme. Bra lengde er det også. Noe fat. Dette likte jeg fra første slurk. Tanninene er fremtredende, men kler vinen veldig bra. Her er det bare å kjøpe inn, og denne bør kunne tåle noe tid i kjelleren- ikke fordi den trenger det, men fordi den kan.

    March 3, 2014 - A northern piedmonte-wine with a classic nebbiolo aroma. Still the wine need some time, to young and heavy after opening. Much better integrated day two. The score are based on day two.
