Pelissero 'Vanotu' Barbaresco 2012
Vanuto is the most prestigious of our single vineyards and gave us its first wines in 1960. It lies between 300 and 350 meters above sea level and faces completely south. It is on the border of all three municipalities of the Barbaresco production area, and forms part of the enclosure of one of the most beautiful valleys in the region. The grapes for this wine ferment with temperature control; the wine ages for 20 to 22 months in barriques (80% new), followed by nine months in bottle before release.
It matches its intensity with focus, revealing its kaleidoscopic notes with precision and power. Fistfuls of rose petals, lots of minerals, a touch of leather, and a dusting of spices, licorice, espresso and underbrush frame this wine’s black and red fruits, combining to create a perfume that promises an exciting palate, and this wine does not disappoint! Vibrant acidity animates this concentrated Barbaresco that matches its dry extract with chewy tannins, fine minerality, and a gorgeous structure.
