Giorgio Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu 2020 750ml

Intense and broad color of a beautiful ruby red, it expresses itself on the nose with fruity notes of raspberry and cherry accompanied and well harmonized with persuasive woody notes such as vanilla. The aromatic frame, in addition to the typical hints of rose, is completed with notes of sage, mint, thyme, chamomile, constant over the years so as to almost constitute the trademark of this land. In the mouth it is velvety wide and enveloping with sweet and persistent tannins. The large polyphenolic structure of Nebbiolo and the right tannic acid ratio of this wine are certainly synonyms of long aging.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
