Wine Advocate, June 2019, Score: 92
The weather in Gattinara is often unexpected. For example, in 2017 it rained more in this area than it did in Barolo. This vintage was more tempered, and this 2015 Gattinara comes across as pretty, elegant and soft, with light notes of berries and a pretty ashy signature. This particular expression of Nebbiolo would be a good choice for lamb.

Vinous, September 2021, Score: 91
For the red, the 2015 Gattinara from Nervi-Conterno did the trick. Again, this surpassed my expectations. The aromatics are fulsome and generous, with red cherries, strawberry and a splash of soy. The palate is more malleable than I thought, fleshy on the midpalate with an almost Pinot-like finish. Does it need longer in bottle? Not judging by the showing on this evening.
Region
Gattinara
Located in the region of Piedmont, north-west Italy, Gattinara was awarded DOCG status in 1990. Since then the region has clawed back its reputation that it once had in the 19th Century as a region for intense red wines that can rival some of the most serious of Barolo and Barbaresco wines. Spanna is the local grape variety used, which is the local name for Nebbiolo, to which Bonarda and Vespolina may be added in less ripe vintages to add softness to the sometimes austere Spanna. Gattinara is capable of producing some of the most long-lived wines of Italy and is considered the noblest form of Spanna.
