Molsino is een toplocatie in Gattinara op een hoogte van 350 tot 420 meter. Nervi Gattinara Molsino is een 100 procent Nebbiolo die alleen wordt geproduceerd in de beste jaargangen van geselecteerde druiven van deze wijngaard. De Nebbiolo-druif, hier Spanna genoemd, produceert zijn eigen wijnstijl in Gattinara, die merkbaar verschilt van zijn verwanten uit Langhe. Hoewel veel wijnen van deze appellatie een structuur hebben die misschien wel aan Barbaresco doet denken, zijn ze meestal wat geuriger, fruitiger, levendiger en vaak van een iets lager alcoholgehalte dan de Nebbiolo-wijnen uit zuidelijk Piëmonte. Het aroma van de Gattinara-wijnen doet vaak denken aan de pittige, traditionele Pinot Noirs van Bourgondië.De beste Nebbiolo wijnstokken voor Vigna Molsino Conterno
Nervi is de oudste continu werkende wijnmakerij in Gattinara, bestaande uit 28,5 hectare verspreid over enkele van de beste crus van de regio. De wijnmakerij werd in 1906 opgericht door Italo Nervi. De familie Nervi bouwde de reputatie van het landgoed op en runde het voortdurend tot 1991 toen een staalmagnaat genaamd Germano Bocciolone het landgoed kocht. Twintig jaar later kocht een groep Noorse investeerders onder leiding van een gepassioneerde wijnverzamelaar, Erling Astrup, het wijnhuis. Astrup probeerde het kwaliteitsniveau van Nervi te verhogen en vroeg advies aan zijn oude vriend Roberto Conterno. In 2018 besloot de groep het wijnhuis te verkopen aan Roberto Conterno. De wijnstokken staan aangeplant op vulkanische bodem rijk aan mineralen en klei. Dit maakt dat de Nebbiolo druiven bijzondere eigenschappen kunnen ontwikkelen. De druiven worden bij optimale rijpheid met de hand geoogst. In de wijnmakerij worden ze vervolgens ontsteeld en daarna zachtjes gekneusd. De druiven fermenteren in roestvrijstalen tanks bij een gecontroleerde temperatuur. Hierna volgt een inweking op de schillen van ongeveer 3 tot 4 weken. Dit zorgt voor meer kleur, geur en smaak. De malolactische vergisting vindt plaats in eikenhouten vaten. Tot slot rijpt de wijn 4 jaar in eikenhouten vaten.Hoe smaakt de Nervi Gattinara Vigna Molsino Conterno?
Deze granaatrode Vigna Molsino heeft in de geur aroma’s van gedroogde kersen, kruiden, munt en aarde. In de smaak is hij erg verfijnd, puur en klassiek. De geuren komen terug samen met gestructureerd tannines en zuren. Hij is complex met een aangename lange afdronk.Shipping Notes

many feelings
Format: Kindle
I didn’t know what this book was about when I first started reading.. one thing I felt at the beginning was…amazement? I love writing letters, something I don’t do often, I recently bought this beautiful fountain pen, I wanted to start small, writing greeting cards to family and friends, birthday cards, thank yous, etc. what I didn’t expect is the emotional toll this book had on me, and other members of my family who read the book for our book club. The subject matters, death of a child, husband dying of cancer, the significance of May 29th, all impacted our family, and so, as I read this book, I had to put it down several times because I had to cry, compose myself, think of regrets I have, and remember.
How amazing it is that Sybil was able to write all about the death of her child to her dead child. I always say that writing it down on paper releases your burden in your head…it is true, I think writing letters, even the ones she didn’t send helped her quiet her head, at least for a while. I truly love this book. I have been borrowing books from Libby to read for our book club for a very long time, there have been books that I fell in love with, and always thought if I want to read them again I’ll just borrow them again, this book is the first one that I want to own physically to put on my shelf and know that I have it to read over and over again when I want to reflect and then quiet my head. ( This is the longest review I’ve written about a book I’ve read, I hope it makes sense).

Successful Epistolary Novel
Format: Kindle
When we first meet Sybil Van Antwerp, age 73, she is retired from law and spends a lot of time writing letters and emails. She also reads a lot and is interested in what her correspondents are reading. She has children and grandchildren, but she lives alone in Annapolis, Maryland, and doesn’t see her family very often. During the course of reading her correspondence, we very gradually learn about Sybil—her history and her present troubles. She is a complicated character and several times in reading The Correspondent I paused to ask myself what I thought of Sybil—did I like her? What about her kept me from the immediate response a reader usually has about the main character of a book? Even at the end of the book, I am still ambivalent about Sybil, but I certainly understand her much better.
Sybil, herself, and the book have so many layers. There is true depth to the story. My book club took deep dives into it over a period of three weeks, and I don’t think we have sampled all the topics represented in this book. It is a wonderful novel for stimulating meaningful discussion.
Neurodivergence is not called out or named, but it comes to mind in thinking about Harry, a child who is the son of a judge, a former colleague of Sybil. The boy doesn’t quite fit in socially with his peers, but he is brilliant. Sybil makes the perfect “pen pal” for Harry because they have some of the same characteristics. As a child she was punished for “insolence and rudeness,” but her parents were just trying to mold her into a polite young lady as expected by society. She was blunt and didn’t have many friends.
There are so many other issues worthy of discussion, but they would most certainly bring up spoilers. I won’t do that to you. Readers should have the opportunity to see the story gradually emerge from the letters, including a continuing one that the reader doesn’t know to whom Sybil is writing. Sybil sets the word “stone” for secrets, and there are stones in this book making it a puzzle, a mystery of sorts—for the reader.
As a reviewer, I tend to go quickly from one book to the next as soon as I have composed and published my thoughts. Characters in various books can even blend together. This is not the case with The Correspondent. The characters in this book, especially Sybil, have stayed with me and come to mind frequently as I go through my day. Virginia Evans has created a fictional world with impact. Just as Sybil needed time (years in her case) to process the events of her life, the reader will need time to process them and their effects on Sybil as well.
