Description
1961 Pertinace Antico – F.lli Minuto
The 1961 vintage is recognised as one of the outstanding post-war years in Piedmont, producing wines of structure, longevity and classical character. This Pertinace Antico bottling from F.lli Minuto reflects a traditional era of regional winemaking, when extended ageing and patient cellar maturation shaped the style and evolution of the wine.
Tasting Notes:
Now brick-garnet in colour with amber highlights at the rim, the nose is mature and layered. Aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant and rose petal are interwoven with notes of leather, tobacco leaf and forest floor. With time in the glass, hints of truffle, cedarwood and warm spice emerge. On the palate it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with softened tannins and a fine thread of acidity that maintains balance. Flavours of dried red fruits, savoury earth and gentle balsamic tones unfold gradually, leading to a long, elegant and contemplative finish.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Decant carefully to remove sediment and allow the wine to open slowly before serving. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A natural partner to braised meats, truffle-infused dishes or mature hard cheeses.
Summary:
A rare and characterful bottle from a celebrated Piedmont vintage, offering mature complexity and the savoury nuance typical of well-aged northern Italian wines. A rewarding choice for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional regional styles.
