Note di degustazione
Here's an exciting addition to the Conterno portfolio. Roberto Conterno has long wanted to add a classic-method sparkling wine to his portfolio, and his recent acquisition of the historic Nervi estate in Gattinara awarded him this opportunity. A new chapter opens with the Conterno Nervi 2018 Rosé Metodo Classico. A pure expression of Nebbiolo, this first edition sees three grams of residual sugar that imparts a gentle touch of softness over fresh aromas of white cherry, wild rose and grapefruit. Those fruity tones are neatly framed by elegant mineral shadings. The wine's beading is tight, lively and almost spicy on impact. About 90% of the fruit for this wine is sourced from outside vineyards, with the remaining coming from the estate.

The name of this wine is simply Il Rosato, and it is a pretty classic rosé. The freshness of the perfume and the four to five grams per liter of residual sugar adds volume, sweetness and softness. You also taste the elevated alcohol at 13.5%. The most significant quality of the 2018 Il Rosato, though, is the balance between the registered fruity sweetness and its fresh acidity. There is also a nice, salty mineral note on the finish. I'd serve it with wood-fired merguez sausage. Some 60,000 bottles were made.
