Red wine | Piedmont, Italy
The Perti Langhe Rosso by the esteemed Pertinace winery is a true expression of the Piedmontese terroir. Founded in 1973 in the village of Treiso, Pertinace is a benchmark for quality in the Langhe region. This specific wine, 'Perti', is a masterfully crafted blend of traditional local varieties—Dolcetto and Nebbiolo—complemented by a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, which adds depth and a modern international flair to the blend.
Upon pouring, you are greeted by a vibrant ruby-red color. The nose is inviting and expressive, characterized by red berries, a hint of spice, and subtle floral notes that are iconic to the region. On the palate, it is beautifully dry and well-balanced; the Nebbiolo provides structure and complexity, while the Dolcetto ensures an approachable, fruit-forward character, and the Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the blend with added richness. Its smooth tannins and refreshing acidity make it incredibly versatile.
This wine is the quintessential 'everyday gourmet' selection. It shines when paired with typical Piedmontese cuisine, such as Tajarin pasta with a rich meat ragù, vitello tonnato, or local raw beef dishes (carne cruda). It is also a fantastic companion for grilled white meats, medium-aged cheeses, or a hearty risotto with porcini mushrooms. Whether you are hosting a dinner or looking for the perfect bottle to elevate a casual weeknight meal, the Perti Langhe Rosso offers an authentic and high-quality Italian wine experience at an exceptional value. Its elegance and ability to pair with a wide array of dishes make it an essential bottle to have in any wine lover's collection.
