title: Pertinace 2013 Nervo  (Barbaresco)
description: This is initially very closed and a little funky, but it soon opens up in the glass to reveal ripe black-skinned fruit, raisin and a whiff of kitchen spice. On the solid, no-frills palate, notes of fig and grilled sage back up a core of dried black cherry while close-grained grip the finish.
variety: Nebbiolo
designation: Nervo
