PERTINACE NEBBIOLO LANGHE 20

A small cooperative of only 15 growers, Pertinace is located in the village of Treiso in the heart of the Barbaresco zone. Founded in 1972 by Mario Barbero, the winery works with growers who tend to some of the nest crus in this commune, including ‘Nervo’ and ‘Marcarini’, for the production of Barbaresco. Their members also cultivate other famous local varieties, such as Barbera and Dolcetto, as well as Moscato d’Asti. All totaled, the growers manage 170 acres of vines in this area.

The refined tannins provide a silky and velvety texture, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and balance. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness. Pertinace Nebbiolo is a wine of distinction and complexity, best enjoyed with hearty dishes or aged cheeses, exemplifying the true potential of the Nebbiolo grape and the terroir of the Piedmont region.
