High James Suckling ratings for the Barbaresco, Barbera d’Alba and the Nebbiolo Langhe from Pertinace

The winery is located in Pertinace in Treiso, Piedmont, one of the four villages in the Langhe and famous for the production of Barbaresco DOCG.

However, it is also known as the birthplace of Publi Elvio Pertinace, valorous soldier and Roman emperor, who was born here in 126 A.D.

Traits of the great emperor are evident in the character of those who live and work at Cantina Pertinace today- tenacity, a love of the land worked every day, perseverance in winning over new markets and countries, and the importance placed on tradition in wine making are the hallmarks of an enterprise that is a modern, successful business model.

Barbaresco Castellizano 2018

TASTINGNOTE:

“a very pleasant, accesible Barbaresco with nutty red berries, flowers and spices. Medium body with fine, red-fruit and orange-coated tannins and a fresh, citrusy finish. Beautiful to drink now, or hold.”

Barbaresco Nervo 2018

TASTINGNOTE:

“Juicy red berries with a hint of oak on the nose, following through to a medium body with lightly farm tannins and a well-poised finish. This is about perfectly ripe red fruit and a clean, lightly oaked style. Delicious. Drink now. “

Barbera d’Alba 2019

TASTINGNOTE:

” A well-judged, spicy and minerally edge to the clean red berries and cherries on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, tight and clean with a lightly firm feel on the finish. Nicely done, and this should age well for a few years. Drink or hold. “

Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

TASTINGNOTE:

“Lightly jammy strawberry and raspberry character to this fresh young nebbiolo. Medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins and persistent fruit, helped along by citrus acidity. Drink now.”

Barbaresco Marcarini 2018

TASTINGNOTE:

“Interesting mix of savory mineral and cranberry fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied with surprisingly light, integrated tannins and a fruity finish. Not overly complex, but clean and inviting. Drink now. “

James Suckling ratings for Masseria del Feudo

James Suckling recently awarded several wines from Masseria del Feudo – wine producer in Sicily- with high ratings:

James Suckling Points

Nero d’Avola Sicilia 2020

“This has all the ripe blackberry aromas and spicy notes you expect from the Nero d’Avola grape, but they are married to nice, lemony freshness that gives it a lot of life at the long, clean finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.”

James Suckling Points

Nero d’Avola Sicilia Rosso delle Rose 2018

“A dark, rich Nero d’Avola with ripe blackberry and plum aromas, as well as hints of dried dates and bananas. Full and mellow with just enough tannin and acidity to keep it on track. Already fully developed. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.”

James Suckling Points

Syrah Sicilia 2020

“This Sicilian Syrah gives you a big blast of blackberry fruit with pronounced meat and licorice character. On the generous palate, just a touch of tannin is married to bright acidity, but the fruit remains in the foreground. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now. “

James Suckling Points

Grillo Sicilia Haermosa 2019

“The aromas of ripe yellow grapefruit and summer meadow leap from the glass of this generous, full-bodied Grillo. However, it also has some real structure and mineral acidity that drives this along the palate. Quite some tannins at the finish, but they give it more punch. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now. “

James Suckling Points

Grillo Sicilia 2020

A juicy and welcoming Grillo with an interesting fresh-almond note, alongside the effusive lemon-curd character. Behind all the fruit there’s a solid base of tannin that helps to create good length. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.

Masseria del Feudo 2018 Nero d’Avola Rosso delle Rose

” Crushed blackberries mix with nuances of brown spice and peppery herbs as the 2018 Nero d’Avola Rosso delle Rose opens up in the glass. It’s silky yet lifted in feel, quite energetic as well, with a pure display of woodland berries and a motivating twang of sour citrus. This tapers off wonderfully refreshing yet a bit short, as hints of white pepper and inner florals linger.” Eric Guido, tasting date May 2021.

Drinking window: 2021-2026

90 Vinous Points

Masseria del Feudo 2019 Nero d’Avola

“A bouquet of fresh violets with hints of smoke and blackberry preserves lifts up from the 2019 Nero d’Avola. It’s soft and pleasantly sweet, offset by bright acids and tart woodland berries. This tapers off clean to purple-toned fruits and inner florals. “

Erik Guido. Tasting date: May 2021

Drinking window: 2021-2024

88 Vinous Points

Masseria del Feudo 2020 Grillo

“Sweet baked apple and pears complemented by nuances of autumnal spice waft up from the 2020 Grillo. This is soft and round, offset by brisk acids and minerals, as ripe orchard fruits flesh out across the palate. Hints of sour citrus and inner herbal tones linger as this tapers off with freshness. “

Erik Guido. Tasting date: May 2021

Drinking window: 2021-2023
