Tasting Notes: The hamlet of Pertinace is located on the outskirts of Treiso, and their Nebbiolo Vineyards produce the signature Barbaresco of the hill of Treiso. After hand harvesting, the must ferments on its skins for 15 days in stainless and then is transferred to a combination of new Slovenian oak cask and tonneaux. Drinking brilliantly today, this Barbaresco is a textbook of giving wine a chance to reach a level of complexity and depth, with tannins softened to reveal a wine of stunning elegance. Deep rust notes at the edge add to the wine's ruby hue. Dark fruit and forest floor aromas lift from the glass. Beautiful concentration on palate with layers of flavours of dark cherry, dried fruit, black tea and earthy accents. Supple. Excellent length of a soft delicacy. Beautiful depth combined with finesse... a tribute to superior winemaking and an excellent vintage. This is a wine to savour over the next 7 -10 years!
