2025 Nervi Conterno Vino Rosato Il Rosato

Regular price $36.98
More Gattinara than Provence, Nervi Conterno Il Rosato is a serious, mineral-driven rosé that marries Nebbiolo's elegance with the effortless charm of summer.
The 2025 Nervi Conterno Il Rosato is a rosé that defies the category. Crafted primarily from Nebbiolo grown in the volcanic soils of Gattinara, Roberto Conterno brings the same meticulous philosophy that has made his Barolos legendary, translating it into a wine of remarkable precision and energy.
In the glass, it shimmers with a pale coral-pink hue. The bouquet is beautifully lifted, offering aromas of pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, raspberry, red currant, rose petals, and delicate alpine flowers, underscored by a subtle mineral edge that speaks of Gattinara's ancient porphyry soils.
On the palate, this is no simple poolside rosé. Bright citrus, juicy nectarine, wild cherry, and hints of fresh herbs are wrapped around a spine of vibrant acidity and a whisper of Nebbiolo's fine tannic grip. Lees aging lends a gentle creaminess, while the volcanic terroir leaves a lingering, saline mineral note that keeps each sip refreshing and complex.
The finish is long, crisp, and mouthwatering, making it equally at home as an aperitif or alongside grilled seafood, tuna, charcuterie, summer vegetables, sushi, or simply a warm evening on the patio.
Shipping Policy
- Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
- You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
- During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
- We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
- Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
- Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
- Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
