Pertinace 2001 Vigneto Marcarini Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $45
This medium-bodied wine is firmly structured, with solid doses of acids and tannins to keep it focused. Dried cherries, leather, prune and herb flavors pick up shadings of cedar and tobacco on the finish. Try in 2012. Imported by MV Imports.

Pertinace 2005 Marcarini Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
Putting your finger on the aromas here is not easy. Cigar smoke, leafy greens, soapy lavender, bee’s wax, dried apple skin and rose petal all make an appearance here. In the mouth, however, this vibrant Barbaresco delivers tight tannins and bright acidity that promise longevity.

Pertinace 2007 Marcarini Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $49
Garnet ruby with orange highlights—characteristic coloring of the Nebbiolo grape—give this wine an elegant, classic appearance. Aromas focus on dried berries, spice and licorice and the wine is polished, smooth and firm in the mouth. Pair it with braised meat or lamb stew.

Pertinace 2001 Nebbiolo (Barolo)

Pertinace 2007 Vigneto Nervo Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
- $49
From the Vigneto Nervo cru of Barbaresco, this well-concentrated wine delivers notes of dark spice, leather, tobacco, mesquite wood and oak. The natural aromas associated with Nebbiolo are still buried, so give this wine time to unwind with a few more years of cellar aging. In the mouth, it shows soft, meaty fruit with a smooth, velvety texture.

Pertinace 2005 Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
Small forest berries, wild strawberries and delicate red fruits are embellished by well-integrated background notes of Spanish cedar, vanilla bean and Indian tea leaves. The nose is slightly muddled at first but the wine comes into its own thanks to its bright acidity and firm backbone.
