Pertinace Barbaresco Marcarini 2019
Founded 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’s 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.
Pertinace’s 15 growers have 170 acres of vineyards under cultivation, producing approximately 4,000 hectolitres of wine annually. Most of the group’s 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.
Winemaker Notes: Traditional and elegant Barbaresco made with Nebbiolo grapes coming from Marcarini. An intense ruby red in color with a complex nose of cherries and red fruit. Elegant, soft and well-balanced with a long aftertaste.
Lots of flowers and fruit on the nose, with brightness and freshness. Plenty of red fruit here. Full-bodied with round, chewy tannins that are polished and tense. Tangy finish with some crushed stone in the aftertaste. Drink after 2025.
This fragrant red has enticing scents of iris, violet and perfumed berry. On the elegantly structured, savory palate, taut, bright acidity and fine-grained tannins accompany red cherry, orange zest, licorice and a candied note before a mouth drying finish.
