Pertinace Barolo
| Vintage: | 2018 |

| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nA Barolo made with grapes coming from La Morra vineyards. Intense and persistent on the nose, with wild berries, spices and licorice. Forward with ripe aromas of baked strawberry, the 2018 Barolo is more open-knit and offers notes of herbes de Provence and dusty earth. A medium-bodied red, it has ripe tannins, snappy acidity, and a clean finish. This is a charming if not straightforward and clean style to enjoy over the coming 5-7 years. Soft, velvety with good tannins and long finish.\r\nFood Pairings - perfect with game and red meats or aged cheese.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 90 Points\r\nAbout Pertinace\r\nFounded in 1972 by Mario Barbero, Pertinace is named after the Roman Emperor Publio Elvio Pertinace who was born in the hillside sides of Barbaresco. The Winery, a cooperative, was formed by twelve farmers who over the years had become good friends. Among them they owned some of the choicest vineyard land in the region and supplied grapes to some of Italy\u2019s top winemakers. Over time, they developed a shared passion for producing the best wines from their own vineyards, which led to the decision to create a winery of their own. Thus Pertinace was born.\r\nPertinace\u2019s 15 growers have 170 acres of vineyards under cultivation, producing approximately 4,000 hectolitres of wine annually. Most of the group\u2019s vineyards are located near the village of Treiso, one of the main communes in the Barbaresco D.o.c. zone. Treiso is known for its high slopes with soil that is primarily calcareous marl. Pertinace has 3 Vineyard Crus: Marcarini, Nervo and Castellizzano. |
