Barbaresco "Vigneto Nervo," Pertinace

Barbaresco "Vigneto Nervo," Pertinace - 1998

750 mL
Item # 27289

A fine example of what wonderful things comes to those who are patient. Dark and rusty Nebbiolo in all its complex wonder. Youthful ruby in color, crushed black cherries and woodsy forest waft from the glass opening to a palate of ripe acidity, black tea tannins and fresh earthy tones. Serve with mushroom risotto, melty, salty cheeses and wild gamey meats. Or this wine can easily rest in cellar another 7 - 10 years. Cantina Vignaioli's Barbaresco underwent an extended maceration on its skins and was matured in Slovenian oak cask and tonneaux. The hamlet of Pertinace is located on the outskirts of Treiso, and their Nebbiolo Vineyards produce the signature Barbaresco of the hill of Treiso.
