licorice and dried flowers

This wine hails from a hot vintage and does not show the extreme energy or momentum that this grape is capable of in a cooler growing season

Nervi Conterno Vigna Valferana, Gattinara DOCG, Italy 2019 Huasa de Pilen Alto licorice and dried flowersThe 2019 Gattinara Valferrana is a dark, potent wine. It deftly marries fruit intensity with elegance, with deep notes of lavender, spice, menthol and crushed rocks. Time in the glass is works wonders here. If anything, I may have underestimated this last year! 96 Pts Vinous
