2014 Gattinara Vigna Molsino
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2014 Gattinara Molsina is shy and introverted in its first impression, with quite a bit of intensity lurking in the background. Today, the Molsina is not as expressive as the Volferana, but its day will come. With a bit of aeration, the 2014 starts to show the structure, layers of nuance and resonance that will emerge more fully in time.

Roberto Conterno tells me he prefers the 2014 Gattinara Vigna Molsino over his other single-vineyard expression from the Vigna Valferana. I tend to agree given this wine's large span of beautiful aromas. This is a deep and expressive Nebbiolo that starts with plump fruit tones and ends with drying mineral nuances. There is a touch of white pepper too. Bring this one out for pheasant or other game bird roast.
