PERTINACE DOLCETTO D’ALBA 19

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.

Tasting Notes:
Dolcetto is a charming and approachable red wine that captures the essence of the Dolcetto grape. It displays a deep ruby-red color in the glass, exuding youthful vibrancy. The nose is greeted with enticing aromas of black cherries, violets, and a touch of herbs. On the palate, it offers a soft and fruity character, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and a hint of almond. The supple tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth and easy-drinking texture. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant impression of fruit and a touch of freshness. Dolcetto is a versatile and enjoyable wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a perfect choice for casual meals and everyday enjoyment.
